Navigation (Private Pilot)
VOR's
VFR Altitudes:
This lesson will probably be the most easiest one you will ever learn and remember as a student pilot.
While flying VFR there are certain altitude requirements we must comply-with. We must maintain an appropriate and safe altitude depending on what compass direction we tend to fly.
-
All VFR flight altitudes are conducted between 3,000 feet AGL and below 18,000 feet MSL.
-
When flying on a magnetic course of 0 (zero) degrees
through 179 degrees, always use odd numbered
altitudes plus 500 feet.
(3,500 feet, 5,500 and so on.)
-
When flying on a magnetic course of 180 degrees
through 359 degrees, always use odd numbered
altitudes plus 500 feet.
(4,500 feet, 6,500 and so on.)
Tip:
As a memory aid, think of "West is best and east is odd".
