I agree with that. (elev 580').

As mentioned in another thread, for a flight tracking project I've learned how to position a camera point of view precisely in Google Maps/Earth.

Using the data above, this should simulate the approximate view from the cockpit at the lowest point in the approach (camera positioned at the respective coordinate, 120m AGL, heading 201°) (click on the link, needs a WebGL capable browser)
