Is the CBAS higher than 500' there?

The floor of the class B is 1,100' over the lady. There's a point of land on the
Jersey side that's the closest point of the riverbank to the statue. The floor dips
to 500' at that point. Since you need to be at least 1,000' AGL if you get over land,
the 500' floor is sort of a moot point. The TAC will make it clear to you, but -- if
you come in over the Narrows bridge at 1,200 to 1,500', drop below 1,100' and make a
beeline for the lady, shoot the gap between the Jersey shore and the lady and Ellis
Island, staying between 600' and 1,100', you'll be fine. Stray too much to the left
of that beeline, you run the risk of getting into the 500' floor area.
