  • $\begingroup$ Even if it was a practice clearance for a practice approach from a DPE/CFII? My DPE gave me this while VFR during my checkride acting as ATC for my ride. Ok, thanks for clarifying the missed with GPS! $\endgroup$ Commented May 25, 2024 at 1:13
  • $\begingroup$ @TrevorMiller I'm not sure it's helpful to ask students to fly practice approaches in ways they never would in real life! And even VFR with a CFII watching that's pretty darn low over mountainous terrain! On a cold day you might actually hit a mountain! $\endgroup$ Commented May 25, 2024 at 1:20
  • $\begingroup$ Hey Chris, I updated my comment on the situation! I agree 100% with you, this just happened to me and I was confused. I believe I was left so low because of the Bravo from 5800 to 10000 $\endgroup$ Commented May 25, 2024 at 1:23

    $\begingroup$ @TrevorMiller Seems likely. I'd not worry about it too much. If it was your CFII I'd suggest you have a talk with them about briefing things more carefully when they are deviations from realistic IFR flight. Congratulations (I hope) on your instrument rating! $\endgroup$ Commented May 25, 2024 at 1:34
