So, you're telling me that I'd have to stay 1000 feet away from a cloud
the size of, say, my Subaru? How 'bout a basketball?

No, the *FAA* is telling you that. I'm simply saying that failing to do that and bragging about it on usenet
is a blatant violation of the FARs.

A "cloud" shall henceforth be defined as something that a plane can
hide behind -- period.

Redefine English if you want; the State of New Jersey does it all the time.

I'm with Jay here, if you can see a prominent object 3 miles the other side of as you enter it, it is not a
violation, even though the kids in the back seat might say "ooo neet, we flew through a cloud"...
