Good day everyone!
According to SERA.5001 in airspace classes F and G when so prescribed by the competent authority:
(a) flight visibilities reduced to not less than 1 500 m may be permitted for flights operating:
(1) at speeds of 140 kts IAS or less to give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision; or
(2) in circumstances in which the probability of encounters with other traffic would normally be low, e.g. in areas of low volume traffic and for aerial work at low levels;
(b) helicopters may be permitted to operate in less than 1 500 m but not less than 800 m flight visibility, if manoeuvred at a speed that will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision.
Can you share information if this specification has been implemented in any variation in your respective member state?
Thank you!
Finland:
In airspace class G in accordance with Table S5-1, flight visibilities reduced to not less than 1 500 m are permitted on flights conducted at an indicated airspeed (IAS) of 140 knots at maximum. In other conditions, the visibilities specified in Table S5-1 shall be followed.
In airspace class G in accordance with Table S5-1, flight visibilities reduced to less than 1 500 m but not less than 800 m are permitted on helicopter flights if the aircraft is manoeuvred at a speed that will give adequate opportunity to observe other traffic or any obstacles in time to avoid collision.
