Key Takeaways Weather minimums vary by airspace class, altitude, and time of day. 152 is a helpful shortcut for remembering VFR cloud clearance rules. Class E above 10,000 ft and Class G below 1,200 ft have special rules. What are the Weather Minimums for VFR Flight? There is another way, however.

Airspace designation is determined by considering the density of aircraft, the types of operations, the level of safety required, and the national and public interest. Controlled airspace is generally where ATC service is provided. For VFR flight, controlled airspace means increased cloud clearance and visibility requirements.
