This is a nice website, however there are factual inaccuracies and watered down information. For example, "Visual Flight Rules” (VFR) apply when there is generally good visibility, and features on the ground can be discerned by the pilot." Well, NO. There are speciifc requirements. 14 CFR § 91.155, states (in the worst case scenario) you need 3 statute miles of visibility; 500 feet below, 1000 feet above 1 statute mile horizontal separation from clouds. The previous limits are dependent on the airspace type you are in.
But it is nothing like, yeah, looks about right, so we can fly with VFR. Best case scenario, your wings will be clipped, at least for a while; worst case scenario, you will get a headstone earlier than you should have and your next of kin would be sued for damages.
I think “good visibility” is fine for a general audience. Having a detailed definition for pilots is necessary; explaining those details to the layperson isn’t.
