Guest Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 All, I have been trying to find some official advice regarding flying during a solar eclipse, and I can't seem to find anything anywhere? Does anyone actually 'know' the legal situation regarding this or have a link? SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spigot Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 If you can fly 1/2 hour before sunrise. Must be legal if you can see 10-20% of it Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Turn your lights on [sMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH][sMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH][sMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] VMC conditions regarding visibility would apply surely so 1500m and in sight of surface, clear of cloud.

gordon_dunn Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Technically the Sun has not set, therefore you are legal in that sense- but will visibility be up to the required standards for VFR? I think so. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 We are keeping 20% of the light in this area so it will be similar to just before sunset for a short time Normal visual minima rules will still be apply able me thinks SW Sent from my iPhone using PMC Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_dunn Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 We are keeping 20% of the light in this area ...... So it's still brighter than a typical summers day in Northern Ireland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
