What altitude is designated for outbound flights on VM7?

The correct altitude for outbound flights on the VM7 route is established at 2000 feet. This altitude is specified to ensure safe vertical separation from terrain and other air traffic, particularly in the vicinity of airports where outbound flights typically operate. By designating this specific altitude, air traffic control can maintain orderly traffic flow and minimize the risks associated with transitioning from ground-level operations to higher altitudes.

Choosing this altitude helps pilots execute climbs efficiently while also adhering to safety regulations that govern airspace usage. Other altitudes such as 2500 feet, 3000 feet, or 1500 feet may not align with the operational parameters intended for the VM7 route, potentially leading to conflicts with air traffic control instructions or terrain issues.
