Hi,
over here we have a maximum flight altitude of 100m above ground.
That makes me wonder what happens on a sloping hill if I start a bit up on the hillside.
If I go to 100m at my start position and then fly level from my starting point away from the hill I gain altitude without actually raising the bird further.
Do I need to follow the terrain?
Do I need to bother?
It's highly unlikely here that someone will fly in the valley with a manned aircraft. Above the hilltop surely, but below pretty surely not.
Still how do you interpret the max flight altitude?
MavicAir shows the max altitude above start level.
If I fly horizontally above a 200m ravine, I am instantly 100m to high?!
Thanks for your thoughts,
Franziska
