Is 1 mile visibility good for flying?


Is 1 mile visibility good for flying? For single and twin engine airplanes the standard departure visibility minimum is one mile. Many pilots flying under Part 91 believe using the approach and landing minimum visibility as a takeoff minimum makes sense.


Can planes fly in rain?
