What is this flight level? SFC-2999FT AGL

[GMack]

Is it surface 299,900 feet or 57 miles? Seems very high for planes.

It's the new NOTAM posted over the Central Park area of New York (i.e. Trump Tower?). 2 NM radius too.

Surface to 2999 and something else 3000 up maybe?

It's actually an extension of the previous Notam (6/3614) to new Notam 6/5257 that will expire Jan. 21, 2017. It is from the surface to 2999 ft above ground level AGL.

Nothing new, just a time extension.

It's restricted to fly below 3000 ft AGL and within a radius of x nautical miles of the coordinates specified.

Thanks. 2,999 feet sounds reasonable. I thought the reading of it was maybe for "Flight Level" which adds a couple of zeros to the altitude (I love the FAA abbreviations sometimes! METARS Not!). Somewhat like a sectional map at times where they omit the last two zeros.

Fwiw, I just watched a plane fly over Central park within the 2 NM radius at 4,000 feet and 310 MPH on the Air Traffic app for Android. Delta DL2748 out of LaGuardia.
