(2) A powered parachute or weight-shift-control aircraft may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (c) of this section. (1) A helicopter may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, provided each person operating the helicopter complies with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the FAA and If the operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface. (d) Helicopters, powered parachutes, and weight-shift-control aircraft. Thus, the minimum altitudes of an approach are designed to meet the ROC within the OEA. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. For CAT A and B aircraft, the circling minimum gives you 300 feet above the highest obstacle in the circling area. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft. The value of the minimum obstacle clearance altitude. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface. Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude, or MOCA, is the lowest published altitude in effect between fixes on VOR airways or route segments that meets obstacle (like a building or a tower) clearance requirements for the entire route segment. <<object> FAA 8260.3 The highest airspace, obstacle or terrain relative to a prescribed plane.§ 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.Įxcept when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes: Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude - Lowest published altutude between radio fixes that meets obstacle clearance requirements and assures navigational.
