Yes, the minimum altitude is 2000ft above the highest obstacle |
No, because it is more than 8km (5nm) from the aerodrome |
It depends where the aeroplane is because the minimum altitude is based on the highest obstacle within 8km of the aeroplane position |
Yes, but because the aeroplane is approaching to land, minimum altitude is not important |
Explaination:
Except when necessary for take-off and landing, or where specially authorised by the appropriate ATS authority, an IFR flight shall be flown at a level which is not below the minimum flight altitude established by the State whose territory is being overflown, or where no such minimum altitude is specified:
a. Over high terrain or mountainous areas (not defined further), the minimum level must be at least 600m (2 000 ft) above the highest obstacle located within 8 km (5 nm) of the estimated position of the aircraft;
b. In areas other than in a) above, minimum level is to be 300 m (1 000 ft) above the highest obstacle within 8 km (5 nm) of the estimated position of the aircraft.
