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 AGL.

Know what special scenarios still require a waiver, such as flying BVLOS operations, flights above people, or flights that exceed the standard 400 feet AGL. Aircraft must operate under ATC clearance. Max speed: 100 mph (87 knots). Shelf area: 10 NM radius, from 1,200 ft AGL to 4,000 ft AGL.

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. I filed my IFR flight plan, received a clearance and took off into the gray winter sky.

Set your power and speed for the maneuver, maintaining a steady airspeed typically 10-20 knots above stall speed to allow for a margin of safety. Altitude and Terrain Clearance: Always perform steep turns at a safe altitude well above any obstacles or terrain. What defines a standard steep turn?

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.

If I’m taking off from RWY 31L, the minimum climb gradient is 386 feet per NM which at 100 knots is 643 FPM—no issue for the Arrow (or even a 172 for that matter) with a field elevation just under 500 FT. That’s where your sim’s value really starts to shine.

If the restricted area is not active and has been released to the controlling agency, the ATC facility will allow the aircraft to operate in the restricted airspace without issuing specific clearance. They are generally established below 10,000′ MSL for operations at speeds above 250 knots.
