When conducting a VFR Entry Breakout, what altitude should the aircraft initially climb to?

During a VFR (Visual Flight Rules) entry breakout, the initial altitude for the aircraft to climb to is 1,700 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level). This altitude is specifically chosen as it is above the standard minimum altitude for operations in controlled airspace while also remaining sufficiently below the Class B airspace ceiling in most locations, allowing for safe navigation within controlled zones without conflicting with higher traffic.

Climbing to 1,700 feet MSL provides a buffer for potential obstructions and allows for adequate vertical separation from other aircraft operating at different altitudes. It is an established procedural height that balances the operational needs of VFR traffic with the requirements of airspace management. This altitude helps ensure that pilots have a clear view of their surroundings and can maintain visual contact with other aircraft.
