Question: What is the minimum cloud clearance requirement for IFR flight in Class E airspace at or above 10,000 feet ASL?

Answer options:

  • 1,000 feet below, 1,000 feet above, 1 mile horizontal
  • 1,000 feet below, 1,000 feet above, 3 miles horizontal
  • 1,000 feet below, 1,000 feet above, 5 miles horizontal ✅ No specific cloud clearance required for IFR in Class E, only IFR separation.

Correct answer: No specific cloud clearance required for IFR in Class E, only IFR separation.

Explanation: For IFR flight in Class E airspace, regardless of altitude, there are no specific cloud clearance requirements for the IFR aircraft itself, as ATC separation services are provided, or pilots are responsible for their own separation if no service is provided (when not in controlled airspace). The cloud clearances are for VFR flight conditions within Class E or other controlled airspace.
