Any thoughts?
It's my understanding that the "daylight, max 140kts, 5km, clear of cloud, surface in sight" exemption now only applies to traffic remaining outside the ATZ, so in effect all VFR arrivals, departures & ATZ transits will have to be at 500ft if it's BKN or OVC015 in order to remain 1000ft from cloud.
