There are no visibility minimums for operating a helicopter in Class E airspace, but you must remain clear of clouds here. | |

It CAN be safely flown by a competent private pilot with no formal instrument training during these conditions in this kind of airspace. | |
| Sep 7, 2016 at 4:35 | comment | added | David Schwartz | The logic is that the only reason you couldn't fly VFR is the risk that you would collide with an aircraft flying IFR (say, if they pop out of a cloud that you are flying very close to). So if ATC makes sure there are no IFR aircraft in the vicinity, it's no different in the pilot skills required from just barely VFR conditions. | |
