Airspace visibility requirements are essential regulations in aviation that ensure the safety of aircraft operations, serving to dictate the minimum visibility and distance from clouds that pilots must maintain when flying in various types of airspace. They are critical for preventing mid-air collisions and ensuring that pilots have sufficient visual references to navigate and avoid obstacles during flight. As such, understanding these requirements is fundamental for pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation enthusiasts alike.

An industrial air compressor is a mechanical apparatus utilized to generate pressure in compressible fluids or gasses, the most common being air. Compressors are used in a wide range of industrial settings to provide functions ranging from powering air tools to propelling gasses through pipelines. Closely related to pumps, compressors are usually categorized as either positive-displacement or centrifugal, also known as kinetic or dynamic compressors, respectively. Industrial compressors are available in varying sizes as well, with some variations being as compact as glovebox units used to inflate car tires or large enough to be used in pipeline services.
