Typical Spacing For VFR XC Checkpoints
Asked by: Matthew Drooyan 10161 views Airspace, Commercial Pilot, General Aviation, Private Pilot
I've come to understand that VFR checkpoints should be 10-15 nm apart for typical private pilot trainers, such as C172s, warriors, 150's, etc (while still picking good, prominent checkpoints of course). What sort of VFR checkpoint spacing would you recommend for faster, higher performers - arrows, centurions, cirrus, and the like. Are there any useful formulas you would use for relating checkpoint spacing to AGL altitude and/or true airspeed?
Thanks!
