The weather was challenging, but quite flyable, until just before the JOT VOR, which was the outer marker on the ILS2L approach. The ATIS called out the overcast at 800 AGL, the minimum I needed (mistake #5not mine, but it counted anyway.) Chicago vectored me quite quickly, recognizing my icing potential, and I came in at 400 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 was familiar with this company and knew they flew Cessna 206s and the twin engine Cessna 402.

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. It consists of two independent components VOR and TACAN.

Before RNAV, pilots had to rely on radios (NAVAIDs) and antennas on the ground such as VORs (Very High-Frequency Omnidirectional Range) and NDBs (Non-Directional Beacons). Theyre pretty much the same thing, but heres the difference: DH is measured above the ground (AGL). DA is measured above sea level (MSL).

A temporary flight restriction (TFR) may be issued for: Areas around major sporting events below 3,000 AGL and within 3 nautical miles. VOR/DME must complete an online course covering flight operations in the D.C. Areas visited or traveled by the President, Vice President, and other public figures. Both are correct.

MTR’s with segments above 1,500′ AGL are identified by a three-digit number. MTR’s flown entirely below 1,500′ AGL are identified by a four-digit number. VOR, you must complete a special awareness training program and hold a certificate of training completion.
