👁️ Visibility Converter
Convert statute miles, kilometres and metres
About this calculator
The Visibility Converter translates between statute miles, meters, and kilometers for aviation weather. Enter a visibility value in any unit — METARs report in statute miles in the US and meters elsewhere — and it converts instantly. It also flags the common IFR and VFR thresholds so you can judge conditions at a glance.
Tip: when comparing a METAR to your personal minimums, convert first and decide second — mixing up 5,000 meters with 5 statute miles is a real and dangerous mistake.
