SERA.5005 - which rule applies?
Hi! I am a PPL(A) student and have a question about the visual flight rules, specifically SERA.5005. I guess this only applies in Europe (?).
In my opinion the tekst is not formulated well. It says «At and below 900 m (3 000 ft) AMSL, or 300 m (1 000 ft) above terrain, whichever is the higher». What do they mean with «whichever is the higher»? I understand the text before this latter part, if you are either below 3000 ft amsl OR below 1000 ft AGL, this rules applies (clear of clouds). But when they added those extra four words, I get confused.
Example 1: You are at 2800 ft amsl and 2000 ft agl
Example 2: You are at 3500 ft amsl and 800 ft agl
Which rule applies for example 1 and 2? - Clear of cloud - 1500 m horizontal and 1500 ft vertical distance from cloud?
Thanks!
