Weather Minima
The Kingston Flying Club asks that pilots respect the rather common sense rule of flying in decent enough weather for safe travel. The tables below articulate what we mean by common sense.
Weather Minima for Solo Flight Training
| Type of Flight | Ceilings | Visibility | Wind Velocity | Temperature |
| Circuits | 1,500 ft | 5 sm + | Max. 15 kt HW Max 8 kt XW Max 10 kt Gust |
-20 C |
| Practice Area | 3,000 ft (1) 5,000 ft (2) |
6 sm + | Max. 15 kt HW Max 8 kt XW Max 10 kt Gust |
-20 C |
| Cross Country | 5,000 ft | 6 sm (3) | Max. 15 kt HW Max 8 kt XW Max 10 kt Gust |
-20 C |

This minimum ceiling applies to solo training in the practice area that does not involve upper air work.
-
This minimum ceiling applies to solo training in the practice area that involves upper air work.
-
This visibility also applies to aerodromes along the intended route and must not forecast any restriction to visibility to exist within two hours before and two hours after your estimated time of arrival.
Weather Minima for Dual Training
| Type of Flight | Ceilings | Visibility | Wind Velocity | Temperature |
| Dual Flight | 1,000 ft | 3 sm |
75% of max demonstrated crosswind component |
-25 C |
Weather Minima for Rental Pilots
| Type of Flight | Ceilings | Visibility | Wind Velocity | Temperature |
| Circuits and Local | 1,500 ft | 3 sm |
75% of max demonstrated crosswind component and less than 25 kts. |
-25 C |
| Cross Country | 3,000 ft + | 6 sm | 75% of max demonstrated crosswind component and less than 25 kts. | -25 C |
| IFR Operations (4) | 1,000 ft | 1 sm | 75% of max demonstrated crosswind component and less than 25 kts. | -25 C |
-
Current IFR Rating, ceiling and visibility also authorized is 900-2 and 800-3, alternate must be VFR and there must be no icing forecast.
