Final answer:
VFR departures are generally permitted as long as weather conditions meet visibility and cloud clearance requirements which are stipulated by aviation regulations for the specific airspace.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, you can depart VFR (Visual Flight Rules) depending on certain conditions. The most significant factor that determines whether you can depart VFR is weather conditions. For a VFR departure to be safe and legal, visibility and cloud clearance requirements must meet specific regulatory minimums, which vary by airspace class. If the weather is clear, which can be the case up to 75% of the time at the best sites, VFR flying is often possible. However, VFR flying is not advisable, or may not be allowed, when visibility is poor or the aircraft cannot maintain the legally required distance from clouds.
