In daylight, outside controlled airspace, what is the minimum visibility for VFR flight above 1200 AGL and below 10000 MSL?

1 mile

In daylight, outside controlled airspace, VFR minima are determined by the airspace class. For the altitude band between 1,200 AGL and 10,000 MSL, the minimum visibility you may fly with is 1 statute mile. This lower visibility limit reflects that you’re in Class G airspace, where weather requirements are less stringent than in controlled airspace. You must still maintain proper cloud clearance, which in this band is 500 feet below, 1000 feet above, and 2000 feet horizontally from clouds. The other options correspond to higher minima used in controlled airspace or at higher altitudes, not this scenario.
