The minimum flight visibility at 5000 ft MSL in airspace B for VFR flights is…

  • A

    5000 m.

  • B

    8000 m.

  • C

    3000 m.

  • D

    1500 m.

Refer to figure.
VFR (Visual Flight Rules) minima, as regulated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), outline the minimum visibility and cloud clearance requirements for conducting flights under VFR conditions. These rules are crucial for ensuring safe navigation and separation from other aircraft, terrain, and obstacles. Below are the general VFR minima as per EASA regulations:

  • Visibility: The minimum visibility refers to the distance that a pilot must be able to see and identify prominent landmarks, other aircraft, and potential hazards outside the aircraft.
  • Cloud Clearance: Cloud clearance requirements specify the vertical and horizontal distance that an aircraft must maintain from clouds to ensure visibility and avoid potential hazards.

The attached figure shows both visibility and cloud clearance distances for all altitudes and airspaces. Therefore, visibility for airspace B is 5000 m below 10 000 ft.
