At what altitude must ferrying flights be conducted?

Ferrying flights are conducted at an altitude of 500 feet above ground level to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. This altitude provides a buffer from ground obstacles while also allowing sufficient maneuverability for the aircraft. It balances the need for safety with operational requirements, giving pilots the capability to navigate effectively in various environments.

Flying at this altitude helps avoid potential hazards such as power lines, trees, and other obstacles that could pose a risk during flight. Regulatory guidelines are often designed to ensure pilots have enough altitude to make safe decisions in case of an emergency, and 500 feet is a standard minimum that offers a reasonable safety margin while allowing for the flexibility needed for ferry operations.
