Under IFR, you have to be at least 1000' above the nearest object within 5nm

Unless intending to land of course.....

I think FFF meant the HIGHEST object within 5 nm!

You must still remain 1000 ft above etc. EVEN IF you are intending to land, UNLESS you are following a published approach procedure. Otherwise we would all be setting up GPS approaches to our local strip and barrelling in in all weathers!
