Andy,

Where are you getting your definition of MSH?

"10.8.5.1 Each task shall include a Maximum Start Height (MSH)
above the home field. This height shall not be less than 3500' AGL nor
more than 10000' AGL."

Note that MSH is defined as height above the home field, not an MSL
altitude.

For the new rule to make any sense the terminology "Maximum Start
HEIGHT" would need to be abandoned and a new term "Maximum Start
ALTITUDE" would need to be used in its place.

It would be proper and consistent to define Maximum Start Altitude as
10,000 ft MSL in my scenario above.

Andy

I think the point of the new rule is that the CD shall give the pilots
the "MSH" as an MSL altitude. I.e. your task sheet says "10,000 MSL"
