For the VCOA approach, what is the requirement for crossing the airport?

The VCOA, or Visual Circle Overhead Approach, typically requires that aircraft maintain a minimum altitude when crossing over the airport. In this case, the requirement is to cross at or above 7,500 feet. This altitude ensures that the aircraft maintains a safe distance from obstacles and traffic in the vicinity of the airport while also allowing for proper visual clearance. Ensuring a minimum altitude helps to enhance safety during the approach phase, especially in areas where there may be terrain or other aircraft operating at lower altitudes.

The options that suggest crossing at lower altitudes, such as 1,000 feet or 5,000 feet, would not provide an adequate safety margin. Flying at or below these altitudes might lead to conflicts with other aircraft or obstacles, making 7,500 feet the effective threshold for this type of approach.
