In Class G airspace below 1,200 feet AGL during the day, the minimums are 1 statute mile visibility and clear of clouds. In Class E airspace below 10,000 feet MSL, they are 3 statute miles visibility with 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above, and 2,000 feet horizontal from clouds. Minimums vary by airspace class, altitude, and time of day.
