- Day — no lower than 200’ AGL and 200’ above obstacles within 200’ horizontal distance.
- Night — no lower than 500’ AGL and 200’ above obstacles within 200’ horizontal distance.
(May descend below these altitudes in terrain flight training areas, if a recon has been done within 72 hours of the planned flight, or when on a published route with published altitudes.) (3-2, b-c)
When may terrain flight below 200’ AGL (Day) and 500’ AGL (NVS) be performed outside an approved terrain flight area?
When a day reconnaissance of the route has been performed within 72 hours and all obstacles within 1 KM of the route have been annotated. Aviators flying the route must be briefed on all hazards by the pilot that performed the reconnaissance. (7-2, a; 7-3, d, (3))

- Above 700’ AGL — 3 Miles / BCC / Visible Horizon and Ground
(Table 3-1)
What are the flight following requirements in Korea?
The aircraft must maintain internal flight following with another aircraft, accomplish flight following with a Korea FOC/FCC, or flight follow with an ATC facility. (3-15)
