Low Altitude airways?

[Rick310]

Low altitude airways? Do you use them in your flight plan? Why or Why not?

I do not use low altitude airways because the have minimum altitudes connected to them. Altitudes that small aircraft without oxygen or pressurized cabins cannot fly. FAA says anything over 12500 you must have oxygen. Correct me if I am wrong, please. I have heard real world pilots say that 10000 feet is hard to breath.

Hi Rick,

Sorry! Just saw this topic.

As I fly airline heavies all the time, I don't use low altitude airways. So nothing below FL200.

So, I'm always in a pressurized cabin & cockpit!

Hope this answers your question.
