Question

VFR Minimum Distance - Over Built-up areas not lower than _________ ft above the highest obstacle within a _______________ radius BUT Over NOT Built-up areas not lower than _________ ft above the highest obstacle within a _______________ radius

A) 1000, 3-mile, 500, 2-mile
B) 500, 2-mile, 1000, 3-mile
C) 2000, 5-mile, 1000, 3-mile
D) 1500, 4-mile, 800, 2.5-mile

Answer 1

The VFR minimum distance over built-up areas is not lower than 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a 2-mile radius, and over non built-up areas, it is not lower than 500 feet within a 2-mile radius, making option A correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The VFR (Visual Flight Rules) minimum distance requirements for aircraft flying over different types of terrain are specified to ensure safety and prevent collisions with obstacles. For built-up areas, the regulatory requirement is to fly at an altitude not lower than 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet. Conversely, when flying over areas that are not built-up, aircraft should not be lower than 500 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option A) 1000, 2-mile, 500, 2-mile.
