Which cruising altitude is appropriate for a VFR flight on a magnetic course of 135°?
A
Even thousandths.
B
Even thousandths plus 500 feet.
C
Odd thousandths plus 500 feet.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
14 CFR 91.159(a) says VFR cruising altitudes more than 3,000 feet AGL on a magnetic course of 0 through 179 degrees are odd thousands plus 500 feet (3,500, 5,500 and so on). A course of 135 degrees falls in that range; even thousands plus 500 is for 180 through 359 degrees, and plain thousands are for IFR.
