All pilots flying over a national wildlife refuge are requested to fly no lower than what altitude?

• A. 1,000 ft AGL
• B. 2,000 ft AGL
• C. 3,000 ft AGL
• D. 4,000 ft AGL

Answer: (B)

When flying over a national wildlife refuge, you should stay at least 2,000 feet above the surface. This recommended altitude helps minimize disturbance to wildlife and lowers the chance of collisions with birds or other animals, while also reducing noise impact on the refuge. The lower altitudes would increase both disturbance and risk, and there’s generally no need to fly higher than necessary unless other conditions demand it. So, 2,000 feet AGL is the standard guideline.
