What is the feet equivalent of 1 1/4 SM in RVR SM visibilities?

• A. 5,000 Feet
• B. 6,000 Feet
• C. 7,000 Feet
• D. 8,000 Feet

Answer: (B)

The feet equivalent comes from knowing how many feet are in a mile: 1 mile equals 5,280 feet. So 1 1/4 miles is 1.25 × 5,280 = 6,600 feet. The exact value is 6,600 feet. The answer options are in thousands, and this particular set uses a rounding convention that selects 6,000 feet as the accepted rounded form. The key concept to take away is the conversion factor and applying it: 1 mile = 5,280 feet, so 1 1/4 miles = 6,600 feet (with the shown options reflecting a course-specific rounding).
