VFR weather minimums in Class G space at night are which values?

• A. 3 miles vis, 1000 above, 500 below, 2000 vertical
• B. 5 miles vis, 1000 below, 1000 above, 2000 vertical
• C. 3 miles vis, 2000 above, 1000 below, 1000 vertical
• D. 3 miles vis, 500 above, 1000 below, 3000 vertical

Answer: (A)

In Class G at night below 1,200 AGL, you must have 3 miles of visibility and remain clear of clouds with a margin of 500 feet below and 1,000 feet above, plus 2,000 feet of horizontal separation from the clouds. This combination gives you enough visibility and cloud avoidance in uncontrolled airspace after dark. The correct choice reflects this pattern: 3 miles of visibility, 1,000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2,000 feet from the clouds (the 2,000-foot distance is horizontal from clouds, not vertical). The other options alter the visibility or the vertical distances, which do not meet the required minimums.
