What is the maximum altitude for unusual attitude training according to the Instrument/Navigation Training Rules?

The maximum altitude for unusual attitude training is set at 6,000 feet AGL (Above Ground Level). This specification is crucial because it ensures that pilots can effectively practice recovery from unusual attitudes while maintaining a safe margin for altitude. Training at this altitude balance gives pilots enough room to execute maneuvers without the risk of descending too low, where recovery could become more challenging or unsafe.

Training rules are designed to protect both the pilot and the aircraft, and this altitude standard provides an effective environment for learning and familiarization with unusual aircraft attitudes, which are critical for enhancing piloting skills and safety. The choice of 6,000 feet AGL reflects regulatory guidance that balances safe operational practices with the need for realistic training experiences.
