I agree with Toy Soldier. I'd only mention two provisos.SierraPilot said:Now a question for the CFI's... when your with a student VFR, and your practicing maneuvers above 3000.. since your constantly changing directions... what altitude do you use as the deciding factor ? Just curious
One was, I think, implicit in Toy Soldier's remarks. Other than spins and perhaps stalls, there's rarely a reason to go about 3000' AGL for maneuvers. Although there's nothing wrong with cruising below 3000 AGL, or dong maneuvers above, there's a lot of good reasons to keep maneuvers and cruise flight separate, especially in busy airspace.
The other is related: If you do maneuvers above 3000', try to keep away from airways.
