Pattern departures and altitude
If I'm told "maintain at or below 3500 make left downwind departure" for a VFR
departure, do I climb immediately to 3500 (or my intended altitude) or do I level off at pattern altitude until I leave the downwind leg of the pattern? |

You stay at or below 3500 and make a downwind departure. IF you are in an F16 I'd assume you are going to get to 3500 pretty fast. In a C-150, not so much. |

It's only a simulator. It doesn't matter what you do. An intelligent person would realize that. |

In a Baron, I can be above 1000' AGL in about 40 seconds, long before I reach the downwind departure point in the pattern. In any case, I interpret your answer to mean that I'm not restricted to pattern altitude in such a case, and I may proceed directly to 3500 or below. |
