compartment is between 10 000 ft and 13 000 ft;

pressure altitude in the passenger compartment is above 13 000 ft.

1.3.6.4 Flying altitudes

Except during takeoff and landing, flights must be conducted at an altitude that

allows for an emergency landing without endangering persons or property on

the ground or water

The minimum flying altitudes listed below must also be followed.

Over densely populated areas, including summer house areas, residential

campsites, and areas where large numbers of people are gathered outdoors,
the flight must be conducted at an altitude of 1000 feet above the highest

obstacle within a 600-meter radius of the aircraft.

However, lower altitudes are allowed for takeoff and landing at an approved

airfield (EKXX).

Imagine flying over cities, residential campsites, or areas where a large crowd is gathered,
you must be able to fly with a "manhole cover" suspended by a rope of 1000 feet length, with

the cover not touching anything within a radius of 600 meters.

The illustration next page shows two planes:

A flies over open terrain (could also be water). Here, they must maintain a

distance of 500 feet from the terrain, and if there are obstacles (e.g., masts,

windmills, or small clusters of buildings), they must maintain 500 feet vertically

or 150 meters horizontally.

If there is a mast that is 300 feet tall, pilot A can either fly at least 500 feet above

the terrain and ensure that the horizontal distance to the mast is at least 150

meters, or they can climb to 800 feet and fly over the mast.
