The dashed magenta ring on a sectional chart marks Class E surface airspace at non-towered airports, raising VFR minimums from 1 mile to 3 miles visibility.
PatternFAR 91.155 sets different VFR weather minimums for each airspace class - here's what the table actually means and how to apply it in flight.
PatternClass E airspace has a variable floor - 1,200 AGL, 700 AGL, or the surface - and where it begins determines which VFR weather minimums apply to your flight.
