If you can see through a cloud.... is it considered cloud?

Can you see a plane on the other side of it? Then it is not a cloud.

I'm sure the FAA will concur.

If a pilot flies through a cloud during a VFR flight and farts, does anyone hear it?

Isn't that thunder? LOL

If there are two clouds 4000 feet apart and you can see between them, is the part between them a cloud?

All clouds are visible aggregates of minute water droplets. Not all visible aggregates of minute water droplets are clouds.

Ah ha. That takes care of the is Haze a cloud dilemma.

The final question...How would you explain it to the investigator?

Can I see the video? What cloud? There was a cloud? I’m a VFR Pilot, I avoid clouds...
