212wrench Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 1/4 mile in front and a 1/4 mile behind = 1/2 mile. Didn't fly in that you would never ski. :up: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 1/2 mile? Doesn't look like a control zone to me. Maybe a good lawyer would see that as clear of clouds and 1 mile vis. No doubt the camera angle doesn't show the big picture. Guess that is what the waiver is all about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell-powered Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 1/2 mile? Doesnt look like a control zone to request S vfr anywhere close.

49 Merc Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 1/2 mile? Doesnt look like a control zone to request S vfr anywhere close. Uncontrolled Airspace 1 000 feet AGL or above not less than 1 mile vis horizontally: 2 000 feet vertically: 500 feet below 1 000 feet AGL not less than 1 mile clear of cloud If you have an Ops Spec,that allows it in your Op Certificate. You can fly in uncontrolled airspace below 1000' with 1/2 mile vis. If the pilot has 500hrs Pic, and has had low vis training, and a PDM course. I'm pretty sure I have all the requirements listed, if I don't, can someone correct me 49merc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
