  "term": "VFR weather",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Atmospheric conditions that allow aircraft to be operated under Visual Flight Rules (VFR), meaning the pilot can navigate primarily by visual reference to the ground and other landmarks. This typically requires a minimum ceiling of 1,000 feet above ground level and a minimum visibility of 3 statute miles. These conditions contrast with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) weather, which necessitates reliance on aircraft instruments.",
