AGL Checkride Turbulence 
Pilot Institute
MARCH 29, 2024
Additionally, both private and commercial pilot checkrides require the demonstration of slow flight. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft. For a greater margin of safety, select an altitude that leaves you 1,500 feet AGL after recovery from a stall.

After all, I had just aced my checkride. Our NIFA team of pilots would travel to other colleges and compete in sanctioned competition involving precise navigation, pre-flight inspections, accuracy landings, and simulated bomb drops into a barrel from 100 AGL feet using bean bags as bombs. It got turbulent, and then very turbulent.
