Inflight 8: Departure and low level

1 / 3

As a VFR pilot, you are in a situation where you have just departed an aerodrome en-route, and recognise that there is high terrain and low clouds ahead. If you are unable to divert at a level below the cloud and around the terrain, what other options are available?

Continue on your original track at the original altitude through cloud, knowing that at this altitude you will not impact the terrain

Divert around the terrain at your original altitude through cloud, using GPS as your primary source of navigation because there is no longer a visual reference

Return to your most recently departed aerodrome, and wait for the weather to pass

Orbit in your position until the weather has passed

2 / 3

Between which altitudes is fixed-wing flying classified as low-level?

3 / 3

It is important when flying at low-level that you:

Keep the map in front of you, and your eyes outside as much as possible

Follow the topography to the best of your ability

Approach high terrain at 45 degrees if you are unsure that you will make it over the mountain

All of the above
