AGL is important for drone pilots as the regular ceiling for drone flight is defined as 400 feet AGL. In contrast to a control tower, an FSS is not responsible for giving instructions or clearances to aircraft. Simply put, 400 feet AGL means that the 400 feet is measured from the underlying ground surface above the specific airspace.

Cabin crew came around to do the BOB (Buy On Board) service and this time, we noticed someone ordering water and wasn't charged so we did the same. At this point, it was slightly turbulence as we flew through some low ceiling clouds. It took us about 15 minutes to reach the automated machines for clearance into the country.

Departure Hall (Landside) The design of the ceiling caught my attention. Notice the small disks of colour glass recess on the underside of the ceiling? What does this design of the ceiling look like to you? My Flight Experience After boarding the aircraft, I took a few photos of the cabin before settling down.

Flight Level 150 is 15,000 metres, around 50,000 feet, so I’m wondering if someone translated the flight levels, as that seems like a big jump in clearance from 800 metres (3,000 feet). Flight 8243 : Our controls have failed, bird strike in the cabin. Your friendly reminder that Russia works in metres.
