You said the green colored airports have at least one 5000 foot runway, but I saw several airports in green with longest runway less than 5000 feet. Could the color have a different meaning?
Hi Sim CFI. Is it acceptable to fly below the MEA, of FL250 for instance, on a jet airway if you are flying high enough to clear obstacles and terrain? I was planning to fly between HBBA and HTDA on the A2A Skylane and I noticed that only a high altitude airway connects the two aerodromes, or is a direct routing with altitude restrictions from ATS possible?
Baraka Mwakisha im not sure if these rules are different outside the US, but if your Nav capability can allow you to navigate off airway, then ATC usually has minimum vectoring altitudes that you can go down to which are lower than the MEA. It also looks like you could take V282 to KIGOMA and then get a direct vector or navigate direct north to HTDA. So yes, there are ways to get below the MEA.
Very nicely explained
Excellent Video. Thanks
Top class video, a wealth of new knowledge. Thanks!
Thank you!
Nice! Could you make a tutorial on all the different airspace types?
Bogdan Misko you know, I was just thinking about that as I was making this video. I think I'll do that.
really good stuff/knowledge man ! and i like the spree you are on ! the crazy speed video releases !
Very helpful thank you
good stuff

SIM CFI Awesome, thanks!
Very well said. Thank you.
