Hi All, newb pilot here (working on my part 107 cert...)
I am trying to figure out: 400ft is max altitude, but from....? i.e.
if I am standing on/launching from the top of a mountain that is at 5000ft MSL, and there is a valley
below that reaches a depth of say, 3000ft MSL... can I fly out over the mountain horizontally? This
would of course put me at far above 400ft... so, I think I know the answer to this, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks for any advice.
