For Class E airspace below 10,000' MSL, what are the visibility and cloud clearance requirements?

In Class E airspace below 10,000 feet MSL, the visibility and cloud clearance requirements are defined to ensure safety for pilots operating under visual flight rules (VFR). The correct requirements specify that a pilot must maintain a visibility of 3 statute miles. Additionally, there are cloud clearance requirements that dictate the distances that must be maintained from clouds: a minimum of 500 feet below and 1,000 feet above the cloud layer.

These parameters are critical for maintaining visual separation between aircraft and ensuring that pilots have adequate visibility of the surrounding environment. This prevents situations where pilots may unintentionally enter cloud cover, which could result in reduced visibility and an increased risk of in-flight collisions.

The option describing 3 statute miles visibility along with the specified cloud clearances accurately reflects the regulatory requirements for VFR operations in Class E airspace below 10,000 feet, ensuring pilots can navigate safely.
