Maximum altitude above ground | Flight operations must remain below the maximum altitude allowed by local regulations or local airspace authority. Often this means below 400 ft AGL (above ground level). | Flight operations must remain below the maximum altitude allowed by local regulations or local airspace authority.

Takeoff & Landing Area
Takeoff
The PHX Requires a 500ft area clear of obstacles for takeoff. The takeoff direction should always be as into the wind as possible.
Landing
The PHX requires a landing area that is approximately 50ft (15m) wide and 330ft (100m) long. The landing area should be free of obstructions such as rocks, trees, fence posts, etc. The landing directions should always be as into the wind as possible.
| Note |
|---|
The landing area is the area on the ground required for landing. The landing approach requires additional space. |
