Just found this thread - although quite old, seems related to something I'm trying to understand.

I am going to fly some VFR in the Torino area in Italy, and like IO540 says there's quite a lot of controlled airspace marked a certain altitude or a height AGL.

Not only class D, there quite a lot of Class A between Turin or Milan which is marked 2000ft (1000 AGL).
Majority of those areas have ground well above 1000ft so what's the point in having the 2000ft constraint ?
Also, with just 1000 ft AGL and the profile changing quite dramatically within short space, I suspect it would be quite easy to infringe class A, which is not something I am intending to do, especially with so many Military areas nearby

Last thing I want is having to pay the fuel bill of a Tornado ADV....

Anybody with experience in that area and advice ?

Thanks

H.H.
