In Class G airspace above 1,200 feet AGL but below 10,000 feet MSL, what is the day VFR visibility minimum?

1 statute mile by day.

  1. 3 statute miles
  2. 5 statute miles
  3. 1 statute mile ✔

Why: The 91.155 table gives Class G above 1,200 feet AGL and below 10,000 MSL a day minimum of 1 statute mile. At night it jumps to 3 statute miles, and cloud clearances apply both times.

Huh, didn't know that: Class G is uncontrolled airspace, yet it still has VFR weather minimums that pilots must follow.
