<font size=3>I thought the 400' limit was within a certain distance
(can't remember how near) from an active airport. Do I not remember
correctly???<br><br>

<dd>Sort of blows the 400 ft AMA “limit” out of the water.
700 - 900’ AGL seems pretty normal on my Eagletree altimeter.<br><br>

<dd> <br><br>
<dd>Has anyone done any testing using a altimeter of sorts such as
Eagletree's altimeter option to figure out exactly how high some of our
maneuvers end up? In using basic Trigonometry I can estimate that
if a plane is flown at 150 meters at a 60 degree angle then the plane
should be around 260m (around 800') high... do we fly higher than
this? Obviously the further out one flies then the higher one gets
if at 60 degrees.<br><br>
<dd> <br><br>
<dd>Are there any true measurements that one could relay to me... or if
someone has an altimeter, could you test it out and let me know
please? I'm particularly interested in current
sequences/maneuvers... especially F3A or Masters. I don't think the
lower classes get to an altitude that is of any significance (generally
speaking of course).<br><br>
