Which of the following altitudes corresponds to the Breakout (VFR entry) at KCBM?

• A. 1700 feet MSL
• B. 2200 feet MSL
• C. 3200 feet MSL
• D. 1200 feet MSL

Answer: (A)

The correct altitude for the Breakout (VFR entry) at KCBM is 1700 feet MSL. This altitude is typically aligned with standard operational procedures in the region, where it allows for safe transition from instrument flight rules (IFR) to visual flight rules (VFR) operations. The Breakout point is specifically designed to enable aircraft to make a safe and effective shift into the VFR environment, ensuring that they are at a suitable altitude to maintain visual separation from terrain and other traffic.

This altitude is also crucial for avoiding congested airspace and facilitating a smooth transition to landing procedures. In the context of KCBM, 1700 feet MSL has been established as the designated altitude to ensure pilots are adequately positioned for the VFR entry into the traffic pattern without conflicting with IFR traffic operating in the airspace.
