| As long as you are either turning or climbing/descending, then you dont have to comply with the rule. I once flew about 50 miles on the wrong 'cardinal' heading VFR and when I finally figured it out I fessed up to the controller who was giving me traffic advisories.. all he said to me was "yeah, I'm keeping an eye on you" in a freindly tone ![]() |

| Old Skool | there was a 90 degree wind change between 3 and 6k and i usually do 4500 feet for the xc the DE asked for. but given the circumstances and teh favorarable 3k wind, i did 2500... he asked me when the^^^^^^ rule applied, and i didnt know. he said he'll ask me next time he sees me ![]() until then, PPL 6/14/06 ![]()

| I may be wrong but I think that at 2500 MSL then the rule wuld only apply if you are flying over the Dead Sea.... not turning.. not climbing.. |

| at 3,000ft AGL the hemisperical alt. rule does not apply. It starts above 3,000ft AGL and below 18,000ft MSL. |
