What is the altitude to climb to in the Rusty transition to Kings 4 MOA?

The altitude of 14,500' MSL is the correct choice for the Rusty transition to Kings 4 MOA because it meets the required altitude regulations for maintaining safe vertical separation from terrain, airspace boundaries, and other aircraft. Additionally, this altitude allows for optimal operational efficiency within the specific transition airspace defined in the relevant procedures.

Furthermore, typical transition altitudes are designed to provide a buffer between different aircraft operating in the area, allowing for smoother traffic flow and better safety margins. The adjustment to 14,500’ as a height allows for these factors to be taken into account while adhering to standard practices within military operating areas (MOA) like Kings 4.

Choosing this altitude demonstrates awareness of both the airspace structure and adherence to aviation safety protocols, ensuring that pilots are operating within the defined airspace restrictions while minimizing the risk of interference with other air traffic.
