SPP APC Minimum Flight Altitude PDF
1. Introduction
Minimum flight altitudes are created first to ensure safety, awareness and adequate radio navigation
reception for aircraft flying at the same time in specific airspaces or on ATS routes.
A pilot shall respect them as mandatory because they ensure the proper flight operation in different
airspace or ATS routes (mountainous, hazardous).
Pilots should be aware of the meaning of Altitude or Height; we can define it as the elevation from a
ground reference point. At the same time, there are several types of altitudes that pilots should be
familiarized with:
Indicated altitude: The altitude that the pilot is able to read at the altimeter.
True altitude: the expressed altitude in terms above the sea level.
Height: the altitude in terms of distance above a certain point.
Pilots should be aware that most of the times the minimum sector altitude is confused with the minimum
safe altitude term. An ICAO definition of a term minimum safe altitude" as such does not exist.

1000ft (300m) separation when the obstacle elevations is below 3000ft (900m)
1500ft (450m) separation when the obstacle elevations is between 3000ft (900m) to 5000ft
(1500m).
2000ft (600m) separation when the obstacle elevations is greater than 5000ft (1500m or more).
