What are the altitudes for VM7 when flying inbound and outbound?

The correct altitudes for VM7 when flying inbound and outbound are 2500 ft for inbound and 2000 ft for outbound. This separation in altitudes is crucial for maintaining safe air traffic flow and ensuring safe vertical separation between aircraft.

When flying on an approach, the higher altitude for inbound helps to keep the aircraft above potential obstacles and allows for a gradual descent into the terminal area. Conversely, the lower outbound altitude ensures that departing aircraft can quickly ascend to a safe altitude while minimizing the risk of conflicting with inbound traffic.

This altitude distinction is important for effective airspace management and collision avoidance. It reflects the regulations and procedures established to provide safe operations within busy airspace, particularly around airports where multiple aircraft may be converging and diverging.
