[QUOTE="Koala Tails, post: 59662, member: 10033"] Have I got this wrong? In many countries the max altitude is 120m (400ft), above the “home point”. This is because aircraft don’t fly that close to the ground & where aircraft do fly lower is a NFZ. This has nothing to do with altitude above sea level, if it did there would be many less places to fly because the ground is more than 120m above sea level, & planes don’t like to hit mountains. Your spark, phone, & Go4 app could know the altitude above sea level, my Toyota knows! (My phone could be giving the information). If you fly horizontally from a cliff over a valley the ground drops away dramatically, using the maps in Go4 app it could calculate the distance to the ground directly below the spark. That altitude is what it records, & because it is above the maximum set, it refused to go higher. I can’t explain the 249kph, unless you’re quad fell out of the sky, & that speed was your terminal velocity. [/QUOTE]
