What is the visibility requirement between cloud layers for VFR OTT flying?

For VFR OTT (Visual Flight Rules Over-the-Top) flying, the visibility requirement between cloud layers is indeed 5,000 feet. This requirement is crucial because it ensures that a pilot has sufficient visibility to navigate safely between different cloud layers without encountering obstacles or other aircraft. Maintaining this minimum visibility allows the pilot to have a clear visual reference, which is essential for effective situational awareness and safe flight operations.

When flying under VFR OTT conditions, pilots must also ensure they can comply with other relevant regulations and requirements, such as maintaining proper altitudes and adhering to airspace rules. These standards are designed to enhance the safety of flight operations in challenging conditions, where pilots may be flying above cloud layers and relying heavily on visual cues for navigation.
