PhilD & Keef
I stated QDM should file a flight plan, then he has a route.
A route then allows 3km. How else could pilots leave Jersey with 8km VIS, going to France (with a flight plan)?
If you have an IMC you could then fly with VIS down to 1.8km, or 1.5km if authorised by an ATCO.
Enough of us pub aviation lawyers debating, I would like an aviation professional, ATCO or Pro flyer (preferably both) to clarify this question.
Regardless, hope QDM has a great time.
