Additionally, a pilot should report any of the following events:: When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an altitude change will be made if operating on a clearance specifying VFR-on-top. ( Each is defined by varying ceilings and visibility.

These commonly missed questions often focus on nuanced regulations, meteorology, flight planning, and airspace rules. 3 miles flight visibility; 500' below, 1,000' above and 2,000' horizontally from clouds 1 mile flight visibility and clear of clouds 1 mile flight visibility and a 1,000-foot ceiling Correct!

To log the approach toward instrument currency the flight must remain on an IFR flight plan throughout the approach and landing. For any flight above an altitude of 1,200 feet AGL, when the visibility is less than 3 miles. For a flight in VFR conditions while on an IFR flight plan.

Maybe it’s the Georgia flying weather, or maybe it’s the ever-increasing emphasis on “old” pilot instead of “bold” pilot, but it seems that flight planning these days is a lot more about if and when than about route and altitude. It’s only two hours by RV-9A, but there are gotchas lurking in the flight planning.

There are different requirements if the flight is operated under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) or Visual Flight Rules (VFR). For example, a pilot flying IFR in controlled airspace will have to file an IFR flight plan and receive an ATC clearance. It typically extends to 4,000′ AGL.

Flight planning becomes more advanced than before, flying SIDs and STARs, and instrument approaches. But a crucial part of this flight planning is planning for the worst case scenario: What if you can’t land at your original destination? When MUST I Plan for an Alternate?

Pilots that are comfortable with self-briefing, via FAA Flight Services, or an equivalent means, may use the EFB to display the METI and AI as well as to file flight plans. For example, ground-based systems that require a line of sight may have relatively limited coverage below 5,000 feet above ground level (AGL).
