If you are flying at 2500 feet with a speed of 100 knots in UK Class G airspace, what are the required weather minima for a VFR flight?

  • A

    You must maintain 1500 m horizontal and 1000 ft vertical separation from cloud at all times.

  • B

    You must maintain 1000 ft separation from cloud in all directions.

  • C

    You must remain clear of cloud and in sight of the surface.

  • D

    You must have an inflight visibility of at least 1800 m.

Refer to figure.
Visual meteorological conditions. Meteorological conditions expressed in terms of visibility, distance from cloud, and ceiling, equal to or better than specified minima. These minima should exist in order to fly under VFR.

ICAO Annex 2
3.9 VMC visibility and distance from cloud minima

VMC visibility and distance from cloud minima are contained in Table 3-1.

Altitude band Airspace class Flight visibility Distance from cloud
At and above 3050 m (10 000 ft) AMSL A B C D E F G 8 km 1500 m horizontally, 300 m (1000 ft) vertically
Below 3050 m (10 000 ft) AMSL and above 900 m (3000 ft) AMSL, or above 300 m (1000 ft) above terrain, whichever is the higher A B C D E F G 5 km 1500 m horizontally, 300 m (1000 ft) vertically
At and below 900 m (3000 ft) AMSL, or 300 m (1000 ft) above terrain, whichever is the higher A B C D E 5 km 1500 m horizontally, 300 m (1000 ft) vertically
F G 5 km Clear of cloud and with the surface in sight
