The route is simple, GPS direct, but…there’s my personal 1,000-foot en route ceiling requirement, and those silly Smoky Mountains. But if I was going VFR over strange territory, I would want lots more than 1,000 feet agl. The 1,000-foot en route ceiling means that approach minimums never come into question.

The AC states limited coverage below 5,000′ AGL, but in our experience you should start getting reception within 1,000′ AGL in all but the most remote or mountainous regions. For example, ground-based systems that require a line of sight may have relatively limited coverage below 5,000 feet above ground level (AGL).

You’ll always find a steady stream of airliners queued up for departure and arrival. This central core extends up to around 10,000 feet MSL, the airspace’s ceiling. However, the ceiling for each shelf is the same as the core. Although Class B airspace has a typical ceiling of 10,000 feet MSL, exceptions exist.
