When flying over Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge, what is the minimum altitude a pilot should maintain?

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

Answer: (B)

Over national wildlife refuges, airspace rules push you to keep the airspace as undisturbed as possible. The minimum altitude you should maintain over Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge is 2,000 ft above the ground. This level helps minimize noise and disturbance to wildlife while giving you a safe buffer from obstacles and other air traffic.

Arrowwood is a national wildlife refuge, so the 2,000 ft AGL minimum applies there. The other altitudes listed are either lower than this required minimum or simply higher than necessary for the minimum, so 2,000 ft AGL is the correct baseline to aim for unless you have a compelling safety reason to be higher.
