The minimum flight visibility for VFR flight within a low level airway is

  1. A1 mile.
  2. B1½ miles.
  3. C2 miles.
  4. D3 miles.Correct answer

Why this is the answer

A low-level airway is controlled airspace, so the controlled-airspace VFR minimum applies: flight visibility of at least 3 miles (CAR 602.114(b); TC AIM-RAC). The lower 1- and 2-mile figures belong to uncontrolled airspace.
