VMC minima (SERA)
At and above FL100: visibility 8 km, 1,500 m horizontally and 1,000 ft vertically from cloud.
Below FL100, above 3,000 ft AMSL or 1,000 ft above terrain (whichever is higher): visibility 5 km, 1,500 m and 1,000 ft from cloud.
At or below 3,000 ft AMSL or 1,000 ft above terrain (whichever is higher), in class F and G: visibility 5 km, clear of cloud and with the surface in sight (national lower values are possible). In classes A–E there the 5 km, 1,500 m and 1,000 ft minima stay.
