Also, from when I lived out West, there was the mountaintop clearance guideline—1,000 feet for every 10 knots of wind, with 30 knots meaning no-go. But if I was going VFR over strange territory, I would want lots more than 1,000 feet agl. I broke down and used airline miles. And then there’s headwinds.

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).

Key Takeaways Airports that fall under Class C designation handle general aviation and airline traffic. Class C airports’ speed limits require aircraft within 4 Nautical Miles (NM) of the primary airport and below 2500 feet to maintain an Indicated Airspeed (IAS) of 200 knots or less. Altitude and intentions (e.g.,

By Leslie Caubble, CFI/IGI When I began flight training, I had no intention of flying for the airlines or becoming a flight instructor. Slow Flight Fundamentals To practice slow flight , first you’ll climb to an altitude where the whole maneuver can be completed no lower than 1,500’ AGL.

You’ll always find a steady stream of airliners queued up for departure and arrival. Due to its high elevation, Denver’s Class B airspace extends up to 12,000 feet MSL to give airliners room to descend. This effectively limits traffic in Class B to 250 knots due to 14 CFR § 91.117(a).

Example of a Preventable Accident A prime example of when a go-around could’ve prevented an accident is in the case of Southwest Airlines Flight 1455. The aircraft was 44 knots higher than its target landing speed, which resulted in a runway overrun. In IFR, retract flaps at the appropriate speed above 400ft AGL.
