Mr. McNicoll never said1000/3 is required for ATC, he said VFR is
required.


He said: "1000/3 would be needed only at an airport in a surface area."

7110.65, paragraph 7-4-3 "Clearance for Visual Approach" says VFR
conditions are required for the clearance, with no reference surface areas.

Please explain why 1000/3 is sufficient in surface areas for ATC to issue
the clearance.
