My point is that alot of this is a very academic discussion. From a
practical standpoint, if we are getting into splitting hairs on the
visability requirements, we should probably be having a serious
discussion of if we should be going by ground! If we are looking out
onto the city of Madison and I can't see across to the capitol, one of
us is probably going to say NO even if it is legal to fly SVFR. If one
crew says no, that's it. No go. No arguing.
It works well.
