When flying IFR in uncontrolled airspace below 1,000 feet AGL during daylight hours, what is generally the minimum flight visibility requirement?

Question: When flying IFR in uncontrolled airspace below 1,000 feet AGL during daylight hours, what is generally the minimum flight visibility requirement?

Answer options:

• 1 mile
• 2 miles ✅ 3 miles
• No specific VFR visibility requirement as long as IFR procedures are followed

Correct answer: 3 miles

Explanation: Even though IFR, CARs specify that below 10,000 feet ASL in uncontrolled airspace, for operations during daylight, the minimum flight visibility is 3 miles, to allow for see-and-avoid in case of VFR traffic. This is a common point of confusion for IFR pilots.
