Johnny,
Here is the pertinent REGULATION:
§93.61 General rules: Lake Hood segment.
(a) No person may operate an aircraft at an altitude between 1,200 feet MSL and 2,000 feet MSL
in that portion of this segment lying north of the midchannel of Knik Arm.
(b) Each person operating an airplane within this segment (except that part described in para*
graph (a) of this section) shall operate that airplane at an altitude of at least 600 feet MSL until
maneuvering for a safe landing requires further descent
What you are citing is not “regulatory”. The AFD, in this case the Alaska Supplement, is non regulatory, except for information therein which is specifically formalized in regulation. These are “recommended” procedures. The admonition to depart at 2200 feet is a “recommendation” to try to deconfliction inbound and outbound traffic. But there is no legal requirement to follow that guidance.
The airspace parameters, on the other hand are described in regulation.
Now, if you hit someone while not following that guidance, and hit someone, the NTSB is going to say you weren’t following “Good Practice”
