Question: can vfr pilots fly in rain?
Answer: Yes. You can fly VFR in the rain as long as the visibility limits are met for your altitude and air space. In the North East, if it's raining, it's usually full cloud cover with low visibility. ... So, under 10,000 feet MSL, VFR states 500 feet below the clouds, or 1,000 feet above, or 2,000 feet horizontal during the day.
