What Does VMC Stand For?
VMC stands for Visual Meteorological Conditions
VMC, or Visual Meteorological Conditions, refers to weather conditions that allow for visual navigation and flying based on the pilot's ability to see and avoid obstacles and other aircraft. Under VMC, visibility is sufficient for pilots to operate aircraft without reliance solely on instruments. These conditions typically include clear skies, good visibility, and manageable weather phenomena, making them ideal for visual flight rules (VFR) operations.
