"The joys of Class E airspace."
And that just about sums it up.
Used to hear some crazy stories in Florida - particularly from low-hours students trying to break altitude records in 172s, and thinking that "uncontrolled airspace" was as safe as houses.
Got me thinking about whether a "max alt sustained" meter was available for insertion into light/sport machines - and for inserting into said student after it was read and found to be excessive.
