  Visual meteorological conditions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In aviation, visual meteorological conditions (or VMC) are those in which visual flight rules (VFR) flight is permitted—that is, conditions in which pilots have sufficient visibility to fly the aircraft without reference to instruments and can maintain visual separation from terrain and other aircraft.
The boundary criteria between IMC and VMC are known as the VMC minima.
Visual meteorological conditions are usually defined by certain visibility minimums, cloud ceilings (for takeoffs and landings), and cloud clearances.

 Instrument meteorological conditions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) is an aviation term that describes weather conditions that normally require pilots to fly primarily by reference to instruments, and therefore under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), rather than by outside visual references under Visual Flight Rules (VFR).
The weather conditions required for flight under VFR are known as Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC).
Since the basic traffic avoidance principle of flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) is "see and avoid", it also follows that distance from cloud is an important factor in the VMC minima: as aircraft in cloud cannot be seen, a buffer zone from cloud is required.

A terminal facility that uses air/ground communications, visual signaling, and other devices to provide ATC services to aircraft operating in the vicinity of an airport or on the movement area.
When using Visual Separation, a pilot sees the other aircraft involved, and upon instructions from the controller, provides his own separation by maneuvering his aircraft as necessary to avoid it.
Visual Separation requires less spacing between aircraft than radar separation allowing more aircraft to land in a given period of time.

 General Operating and Flight Rules (Part VI) - NPA Archives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Aircraft operating under the visual flight rules (VFR) are required by the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) 602.114 - Minimum Visual Meteorological Conditions for VFR Flight in Controlled Airspace and CAR 602.115 - Minimum Visual Meteorological Conditions for VFR Flight in Uncontrolled Airspace, to operate with "visual reference to the surface".
The term "visual reference" is not defined and there have been many accidents where aircraft have crashed due to pilot disorientation caused by a lack of visual cues.
It is felt that clarification of the term "visual reference" will have the effect of preventing flight when conditions do not fit the intent of these rules.
