Meta Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hi, There's a couple of antenna's about 10 miles north of St. Petersburg (KPIE). The VFR map shows them at 377' if I have the right ones. Flying into KPIE from the north in Florida HD, they look like they're a couple of thousand feet tall. Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wroblewski Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Odd, they come from official FAA data, but I'll check over them... I wonder if it's a case of feet vs metres, which has happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 They make your palms sweat when you're coming in for the ILS from the northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't! 10 miles out you'll be 3000'+ unless you're planning to intercept the glide slope at 2000'. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wroblewski Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 The height in the data is in feet and I interpreted it as meters (the rest of my data sources are metric), so they are 3 times as big as they should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems something else has gone wrong. They are really marked as that high in the data I have, but the majority do seem correct. I used the same data in all the other US regions as well.
