VFR in smoke
Asked by: travis 5143 views Airspace, FAA Regulations, General Aviation, Instrument Rating, Private Pilot
So here is a question about smoke...
Here in NW America, we have had no shortage of smoke recently which has led to consider the following. Our airfield has had 3SM visibility with smoke all the way to the ground. Assuming a PVT pilot without an instrument rating wants to fly how does this work? The airspace is D surrounded by E. Even though we have 3SM vis, the smoke is touching the ground so the cloud clearances do not work. Does smoke count in cloud clearances? Thanks!
