It typically begins at 1200 feet AGL but can start lower in some locations. No ATC clearance is required for VFR flights below 10,000 feet. Use the Cessna 3-152 mnemonic to remember weather minimums for VFR. The 1200-Foot Rule Usually, Class E airspace starts at 1200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL).

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. ( AIM 5-3-3 ) When an approach has been missed. (

Approach Minimums When youre flying in bad weather and cant see much, you can rely on your trusty instruments to guide you. Theyre pretty much the same thing, but heres the difference: DH is measured above the ground (AGL). LP+V approaches dont always account for obstacle clearance, so theyre not an officially protected procedure.

Scenario 3: VFR into IFR If you read the accident reports the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) compiles, you will notice a lot are attributed in part to the pilot’s decision to continue VFR into deteriorating weather. In the ATD the scenario begins by having the pilot check the weather before takeoff. What could go wrong?

I cursed my decision to depart in developing low weather, but the only choice now was to press on through the crud, dodging cellular towers lining the highway. A call to home base for a land-supported retrieval provided ample opportunity for explanation in response to my peers’ interrogation: “What were you thinking, flying in this weather?”

To taxi from the ramp to the runway at a towered airport, (across the “movement area”), you need to receive a taxi clearance from the Ground controller. First, listen to the current ATIS broadcast (weather). At most Class D airports, the ground controller also delivers IFR clearances to IFR departures.

Before entering Class C airspace, pilots must receive clearance from Air Traffic Control (ATC). Before flying into Class C airspace, a pilot must obtain a clearance from ATC.

Weather reporting at the destination isnt required so long as some reliable source says theres at least 1000-foot ceilings and three miles visibly. You must maintain VFR cloud clearances appropriate for the airspace. Youre expected to land as soon as practical if you go around, or stay clear of clouds until issued a new clearance.

Follow procedures when requesting an SVFR clearance or departing a non-towered airport. Pattern altitudes are typically 1,000 feet above ground level (AGL) for piston aircraft. Check the airports windsock or automated weather observation system (AWOS). You can contact Flight Service, but they cannot give you an SVFR clearance.

While accidents might result from dangerous weather, poor fuel management, or hastily overlooked maintenance issues, an underlying root cause may be a pilot falling prey to these situations due to a laser focus on completing the mission in spite of circumstances that make flying unwise.

A pit stop at North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (KCRE) was planned, and after a weather briefing, I filed an IFR flight plan. The Mooney is well-equipped for weather avoidance as it is equipped with a sophisticated spheric lighting detector. I immediately leveled off at around 650’ AGL, and began slowing down.
