Question 6

Contour Flight Standards

Answer 6

(1) Maintain an altitude that allows safe clearance of obstacles while generally conforming to the contours of the earth.

(2) Maintain airspeed appropriate for the terrain, enemy situation, weather, and visibility.

(3) Maintain the aircraft in trim.
