Legal vs. practical cloud cover for VFR
At what point does VFR become too troublesome to be practical, in terms of
cloud cover? VFR only requires that one stay a certain distance away from clouds, but it doesn't impose any limit on the number or proximity of clouds in the sky (unless they are so close together that one cannot maintain the required clearance). Nevertheless, it seems to me that at some point the clouds are so numerous and close together that flying VFR becomes more of an irritation than a pleasure, with constant dodging of clouds and possibly changes in altitude. It also seems that this would be a personal limit, since it's not defined by regulations. So, what are your own limits for how much cloud cover you'll tolerate before filing IFR or simply not flying VFR? |
