At Eastside, when are aircrews required to be at 2300 feet MSL?

The requirement for aircrews to be at 2300 feet MSL prior to crossing Highway 81 is crucial for maintaining safe altitude standards and ensuring compliance with operational procedures in that specific airspace. This altitude serves as a regulatory measure designed to provide sufficient separation from terrain and other aircraft in the vicinity.

Being at this altitude before crossing Highway 81 helps in managing air traffic flow and enhances the safety of operations in busy airspace areas. It allows for an adequate margin of safety while navigating obstacles and prepares the aircraft for safe transitions into approach and landing procedures.

Other options do not adhere to the specific altitude requirements and may occur in scenarios where altitude and safety could be compromised. By following this protocol, aircrews ensure they adhere to the airspace management guidelines in place, which is paramount for operational safety and efficiency.
