Air Law

Over other areas than those mentioned above, flight must be conducted at

least 500 feet above the highest obstacle within a 150-meter radius from the

aircraft's position. However, lower altitudes are allowed during takeoff and

landing (e.g., on private fields or on a farm).

1.3.6.5 Flying under bridges

Flying between bridge pylons and under bridges, power lines, or similar is not

allowed without permission from the Civil Aviation Authority. (Bridge pylons

are considered a single obstacle, even if the distance between them exceeds

300 meters).

1.3.6.6 Transition altitude, transition layer, transition level

VFR flights above the transition altitude must be conducted at a flight level

according to the chart in BL 7-13. However, flights during ascent or descent are

exceptions.
In practice, when passing the transition altitude (3000 feet - except in the

Copenhagen Area, where it is 5000 feet), the altimeter must be set to the

standard setting of 1013.25 hPa.
