VMC Minima -vs- JAR PPL Weather Minima

[Greg2041]

Just trying to get my head around this for my air law exam.

What is the difference between VMC minima and JAR PPL weather minima?

I know they are different under certain conditions for flights in Class F and G airspace but why do we have both?

Yours confused.

It's the ANO you want to be looking at, in addition to VMC minima.

This might help:

Thanks for the link. There is so much to remember!

The 3km minima stated in Schedule 8 is a UK imposed minima and does not come from the JAA!

Ah. Now that's interesting so the JAA state 1500m?
