Which statement best describes the daylight VFR minimums over a town between 1,200 AGL and 10,000 MSL?

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

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is the standard daylight VFR minimums for Class E airspace from 1,200 AGL up to 10,000 MSL. In this band, you need 3 miles of visibility and cloud clearance of 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally from any cloud. Over a town at those altitudes, you’re still in that Class E segment, so the same minimums apply—the ground feature doesn’t change the required spacing from clouds or the minimum visibility.

So the correct statement matches those values: 3 miles visibility with 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet horizontally from clouds. The other options either specify more or less visibility or a different cloud-clearance set, which don’t align with these VFR minimums for this airspace.
