MRA at Hedud is how many feet?

Minimum Reception Altitude is the lowest altitude at which a navigation aid’s signal can be reliably received along a route, accounting for terrain and the transmitter’s power. For Hedud, the chart sets this value at 5000 feet, so you should be at or above 5000 feet MSL to maintain a dependable VOR/NDB signal on that segment. Being below this altitude risks losing reception, which is why the 5000-foot figure is used rather than the lower options; higher altitudes won’t change the requirement for minimum reception, they just provide extra margin.
