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. NOTAMs are publicly available.

In addition to providing continuous in-flight weather updates, ADS-B provides updates to NOTAMs and TFRs in flight too. 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.

Check NOTAMs Before departure, check the Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM) publication. You might find a NOTAM about your destination’s surface conditions. Don’t depend on NOTAMs to provide up-to-date information on soft field conditions. If you’re not stabilized at 200 feet AGL, go around.

After checking the NOTAMS, the weather, and filing my flight plan, I stepped into the Intel Shop for my pre-mission briefing. It was a very close-up shot as the drone came in low and fast (500-1000 feet AGL at 500+ knots); the crew had no time to react, except to look up. The PDJ was a strategically significant region.

It’s important to check the NOTAMs if you’ll be flying around these areas as some of the dimensions change in size. They are generally established below 10,000′ MSL for operations at speeds above 250 knots. MTR’s with segments above 1,500′ AGL are identified by a three-digit number.
