The daylight visibility and cloud clearance requirements to operate VFR during daylight hours over Sandpoint Airport between 1,200 feet AGL and 10,000 feet MSL are

• A. 3 miles and 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally from each cloud
• B. 3 miles and 2,000 feet above, 1,000 feet below, and 1,000 feet horizontally from each cloud
• C. 5 miles and 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally from each cloud
• D. 1 mile and clear of clouds

Answer: (A)

The flight is in daylight VFR within the Class E airspace band from 1,200 feet AGL up to 10,000 feet MSL. In this altitude range, the minimum weather for VFR is 3 statute miles of visibility and cloud clearance of 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally from any cloud. So the required conditions are at least 3 miles visibility and staying at least the specified distances away from clouds in all directions.

This matches the option that lists 3 miles visibility and the cloud clearance of 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally. The other choices either prescribe too much visibility (5 miles, which is for higher altitudes) or too little/incorrect clearance (such as “clear of clouds” or 1 mile visibility), which do not apply to this airspace segment.
