At a press briefing on Saturday, NTSB member Todd Inman said the flight data recorder and ADS-B data put the regional jet at 325 feet AGL at the point of impact, plus or minus 25 feet while the controller’s console showed the helicopter at 200 feet, the ceiling of the flight corridor it was flying at the time.

This is useful in helping drone pilots yield the right of way to manned aircraft whenever necessary. AGL Above Ground Level AGL is simply a way to tell the basis from which any given height or altitude is measured. AGL is important for drone pilots as the regular ceiling for drone flight is defined as 400 feet AGL.

An instrument rated pilot, who has not logged any instrument time in 1 year or more, cannot serve as pilot in command under IFR, unless the pilot passes an instrument proficiency check followed by 6 hours and six instrument approaches, 3 of those hours in the category of aircraft involved.

According to the GOM, either pilot could call for a go-around, yet neither did despite the published stabilized approach criteria being violated. The ceiling is 800 ft overcast. The second in command (SIC) suggested S-turns to lose altitude and speed, but the pilot in command (PIC) responded, “Nah, we got it.”

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. New York’s Class B airspace has a 7,000-foot ceiling, allowing more room for overflying aircraft.
