Like the 'trick' questions in CASA exams (remember those? RTFQ?) there are always nuances.. and it's extremely easy (even for CASA by the looks of it) to get caught out.
Example: 'visibility' in the definition above - "
the ability.. to see and identify prominent unlighted objects by day and prominent lighted objects by night".
You only have to "
see and identify" "
prominent lighted objects" by night - not unlighted ones, not the ground, not the hills, or the moon or the clouds... prominent lighted objects. If there are no lighted objects (especially prominent ones), then, by that definition, you don't have to see them. See??
