Free PSTAR practice Regulations – Canadian Airspace

What is the height AGL above which an aircraft in VFR flight shall be operated to conform with the Cruising Altitudes Order?

  1. A700 feet.
  2. B2,200 feet.
  3. C3,000 feet.Correct answer
  4. D3,500 feet.

Why this is the answer

The Cruising Altitudes Order (CAR 602.34) governs VFR level cruise above 3,000 feet AGL; below that height the hemispheric altitude rule does not apply. So 3,000 ft AGL is the threshold at which a VFR aircraft must conform to the appropriate cruising altitude.
