For example, describing a Cuban eight maneuver would involve such writing as, enter the (in Farsi , R-L), Cuban eight (in English, L-R), maneuver no lower than (in Farsi , R-L), 10,000 AGL (in English, L-R), at a minimum of (in Farsi , R-L), 450 knots (in English, L-R). add 5 knots for winds at 10 knots gusting to 20 knots).

IN-FLIGHT ALERTS 500 AGL Alerts – Alerts when descending through 500 ft. AGL after having been above 1,000 ft. The alert will only sound once every 60 seconds and is automatically disabled if groundspeed is less than 40 knots. AGL (or when AGL is unknown), the descent rate exceeds 4,000 ft. per minute.

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.

FAA weather charts can help for higher altitudes but when just a few thousand feet agl, they may be less useful. So why was that flight so rotten? Eighty-knot tailwinds aloft and higher-than-normal temperature difference between the surface and aloft. Our return flight was by a safer, much smoother route.

AGL Above Ground Level AGL is simply a way to tell the basis from which any given height or altitude is measured. Simply put, 400 feet AGL means that the 400 feet is measured from the underlying ground surface above the specific airspace. This is as opposed to other altitude measurements, such as AMSL or above mean sea level.

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. (

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).
