June 20, 200520 yr Hi,From the ASV Weather Guide:Although not used in US, Ceiling And Visibility OK replaces visibility, weather and clouds if: visibility >=10km;no cloud below 5000 ft (1500m) or below the highest minimum sector altitude, whichever is greater and no CB;and no precipitation, TS, DS, SS, MIFG, DRDU, DRSA, or DRSN.Is it possible to see clouds when CAVOK is reported?? YES it is!!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
