ShyTorque,
good distinction AGL v Obstacle, it does give a reaonable amount of latitude.
JimL,
I am aware of the VFR weather minimum in 3.465, what I was really talking about was absolute minimums over land.
generally speaking any mention of VFR at night is confusing, because we have already established that under the ANO we are talking about VMC under the Instrument flight rules, even if you are flying your 206 around.
regards
CF
