AGL Above Ground Level AGL is simply a way to tell the basis from which any given height or altitude is measured. Simply put, 400 feet AGL means that the 400 feet is measured from the underlying ground surface above the specific airspace. This is as opposed to other altitude measurements, such as AMSL or above mean sea level.

400 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). Your drone can go higher than this, but to be legal and safe, 400 feet AGL is the maximum altitude you can fly. Many factors, such as the size of the drone, weather conditions, and type of radar, will determine whether or not a drone will be detected. How high can I fly my drone?

Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts. Trying to make large corrections to return to the centerline is dangerous, so it’s best to go around. In IFR, retract flaps at the appropriate speed above 400ft AGL.
