![]() "Antoņio" wrote in message ... I agree with all you have said with one minor nit-pic on your word "must"... If the conditions are tecnically IMC one can still operate under Special VFR which is a VFR operation. Special VFR is available only in a surface area. I vaguely recall there also may be specific conditions within class G airspace where IMC allows for VFR operations. There are no such conditions, but VFR minimums can be as low as one mile visibility and clear of clouds for airplanes in Class G airspace. |

There are no such conditions, but VFR minimums can be as low as one mile visibility and clear of clouds for airplanes in Class G airspace. You are right. (See my post above) Antonio |

Your mention of Special VFR being available only in a surface area did not, in my opinion, logically follow the discussion of my comments (and the resulting responses) to the following comments made by cfeyeye... "I believe, when all is said and done, IMC refers to the meterological conditions where one must operate under IFR, and VMC refers to the conditions where one may operate under VFR." I stated: If the conditions are tecnically IMC one can still operate under Special VFR which is a VFR operation. And you responded: "Special VFR is available only in a surface area." I do not understand the relevance to your mention of *where* special VFR was made available. So I ask again (so as not to miss the point of your post): Why did you mention it? Antonio |

Because it was not clear that you understood that Special VFR was available only in a Surface Area. You went on to say that you thought there may be "specific conditions within class G airspace where IMC allows for VFR operations", so it was clear that you did not have a proper understanding of this issue in general. |

You left out the "I vaguely recall..." part of the quote but, no biggie, I see now where you are coming from. Antonio |

If you review your message you'll see that what appears between my quotation marks is exactly what you wrote. I see now where you are coming from. Good. |
