General rules (Class C, D, E below 10,000 MSL):
- 3 Statute Miles visibility
- 1000 feet above clouds
- 500 feet below clouds
- 2000 feet horizontal from clouds
Exceptions include Class B (3 SM, Clear of Clouds) and Class G Day below 1200 AGL (1 SM, Clear of Clouds).
Search for "airspace visibility cloud clearance table" for the visual aid - super helpful
