Now, however, a “spot elevation” is indicated,

which indicates the highest point in the area, so

our minimum flight altitude will be 361 + 500 +

the height of trees, so roughly 900 feet.

The map section also indicates many other

things than terrain that you need to take into account.

For example, a mast at 1173 feet, which it is impossible to pass over without

entering Karup TMA, because the rules say that we must be at least 500 feet

above the mast (if we look a little further into the rules, it says that we can
instead choose a horizontal distance of 150 meters from the mast).

Another way to indicate heights is the numbers as shown here in the figure

MAXIMUM ELEVATION FIGURES.

It is the highest of:

- highest man-made obstacle + 100 feet

rounded up to the nearest 100 ft

or

- highest terrain elevation + 328 ft rounded

up to the nearest 100 ft (masts under 100 meters (328 ft) are not always

indicated on the map, hence this supplement).

o
The 1000 ft (1 ), which is indicated in the illustration as
Maximum elevation height, applies to the field in question

and the adjacent fields.

If you fly at this altitude, you are assured of obstacle

clearance. But be careful, because this does not ensure you

have legal flight altitude, e.g. over cities or obstacles.
