What is the reported minimum visibility for VFR straight-in recoveries?

The reported minimum visibility for VFR (Visual Flight Rules) straight-in recoveries is 1500 feet. This standard is established to ensure that pilots have sufficient visibility to safely navigate and land an aircraft under visual flight conditions. A minimum visibility of 1500 feet provides pilots with an adequate margin to identify the landing area, maintain visual separation from obstacles, and conduct a safe approach and landing. This visibility requirement supports safety in flight operations by ensuring that pilots can rely on visual cues rather than solely on instruments, which is crucial for VFR operations.
