VLOS test

Yes, I'd back that, 1600' is around 487m.
This is during daylight, at night (if we were allowed to fly at night here) it would be a lot further.
But day or night there is a diminishing point where you can't distinguish between red, green or white . . . but you can see white strobes a lot further that coloured ones.

At night without obstructions the visibility is a LOT further. I did one flight over lake Michigan that was 10,000 feet which is the farthest I could see where my drone was. Of course colored lights will not have the same brightness level as clear.

Below is the project that I did on that 10k ft flight during the holiday season in 2020 going into 2021 with my M2P. The launch point was from the peninsula by Chicago's planetarium and goes a bit past Navy Pier, all over water with clear LOS all the way out and back.
