Outside controlled airspace at altitudes of more than 1,200 feet AGL but less than 10,000 feet MSL, the minimum flight visibility for VFR flight at night is?

VFR minimums depend on both the airspace you’re in and the time of day. Outside controlled airspace (Class G), when you’re between 1,200 feet AGL and 10,000 feet MSL at night, the minimum flight visibility is three miles. This higher requirement helps compensate for the reduced visual references and lack of ATC separation at night in uncontrolled airspace, giving you enough visibility to see and avoid other aircraft and terrain. The other options don’t meet this scenario’s standard; one mile isn’t sufficient at night, and four or five miles are stricter than necessary for this particular case.
