Default Airplane in NYC is a Cirrus SR20

*looks around guiltily*

I should really have known that.

For any who are interested-

Set time to 13:04 today.

The altitude returns go haywire right around the time that he turned
down the east river... I was just reading last night of Electric system
problems on the Cirrus...

*sigh*

I figured the 500 feet above tallest building in viscinity rule would
apply.


Hm but that's not really the rule. Depending on the nature of the terrain
(sparsely, normally, or densely populated), it's either 500' from any
structure etc. (not necessarily 500' above, though), 500' AGL, or 1000'
above any obstacle that's within 2000' laterally.
