Next look at the table: select the requested altitude(in AGL) and determine the distance (in nm) from the target you will need to be toestablish the angle. Then use a sectional chart or map to determine MSL altitudeyou must establish to obtain the requested height over the ground (AGL).Once you decide what position gives you the best view of the target,maneuver into position at the correct MSL altitude and distance (nm) from thetarget (as read from your GPS).Figure 9-39.3.5 Proficiency FlightsCAPR 60-1 encourages pilots to maintain currency and proficiency byaccomplishing self-conducted proficiency flights at least once every 90 days (SelfConducted Pilot Proficiency Flight Guidelines on the Stan/Eval/Flight Opswebpage).
