An ATC clearance is required for all aircraft to operate in the area  and all aircraft that are so cleared receive separation services within the airspace. The cloud clearance requirement for VFR operations is “clear of clouds.” (a) Andrews Air Force Base  MD (b) Atlanta Hartsfield Airport  GA (c) Boston Logan Airport  MA (d) Chicago O’Hare Intl.
