Shamrock reentries cross the beach line on what heading and descend to what altitude when directed by approach?

This item tests how to execute a published reentry into the approach by crossing a fixed line on a prescribed heading and altitude. Crossing the beach line on 105 degrees keeps you on the intended reentry leg that aligns with the approach path, ensuring you stay within the correct airspace and on a stabilized track toward the inbound course. Descending to 1000 feet MSL as directed by approach places you at the proper initial approach altitude—low enough to configure and join the approach safely, but high enough to maintain obstacle and traffic separation until established on the approach. The other headings would route you off the designed reentry path, and starting at a higher altitude would not match the controller’s stated instruction, so they don’t fit the required procedure.
