A minimum off-route altitude (MORA) provides a quick way for an aircraft pilot to read the minimum altitude required for terrain and obstacle clearance. MORAs give at least 1,000 feet altitude clearance above terrain and obstacles such as radio masts, and 2,000 feet where the terrain and obstacles exceed 5,000 feet. [1]

The Pilot has front struts with a coil-spring, multilink rear suspension for a flat rear load floor. The front track is 66.3 in (1,684 mm) and 66.5 in (1,689 mm) at the rear. The Pilot has a 4,500 lb (2,041 kg) boat/3,500 lb (1,588 kg) trailer towing capability with the optional dealer-installed towing package.
Minimum obstacle clearance altitude (MOCA), an altitude which provides a predetermined vertical clearance from known obstacles within a predetermined corridor along the specified flight segment. For a published procedure, the greater of these two altitudes is the altitude which must be adhered to during that segment, and is called the Minimum ...
Most countries have requirements that specify weather minima, aircraft equipment and pilot qualifications. [1] In some countries pilots are required to get an air traffic control (ATC) clearance, or in absence of a controller, advise the nearest flight service station or center.
A year after a panel blew out of a Boeing 737 Max during flight, the nation’s top aviation regulator says the company needs "a fundamental cultural shift” to put safety and quality above profits.
The pilot must be able to operate the aircraft with visual reference to the ground, and by visually avoiding obstructions and other aircraft. [ 1 ] If the weather is less than VMC, pilots are required to use instrument flight rules , and operation of the aircraft will be primarily through referencing the instruments rather than visual reference.
Back in 2009, the "Miracle on the Hudson " involved a bird strike and a plane taking the same route as Thursday's American Airlines jet.
