In the U.S. they'll be there and legal. At a pattern altitude less

Only in Class G, and at a vast number of untowered airports 1000' AGL
is still in Class E (700' floor).

In Class E, with a typical 800'-1000' pattern, they'd still be 500'
below the aforementioned 1500' clouds, and therefore legal.

I soloed under those conditions. Thereafter I was known as "MVFR Kev"
