        For FL
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_level
        (aprox. FL is houndred of feet,
        e.g. FL080=8.000ft, FL240=24.000ft etc).

        For VFR/LIFR
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_flight_rules
        and
        http://aviationknowledge.wikidot.com/aviation:visual-flight-rules

        In general it has to do with visibility and cloud base height.

          if you press the LIRF ... VFR color bar,
          you'll see the limits for each Flight Rule
