This Web Service is new to me: Advanced Converter

Look up a location in an Online Map App then paste the Lattitude and Longitude into the Advanced Converter.

Advanced Converter will get you the Altitude at the site.

Google Maps says the AARG Apache Pass Launch Site is at: ( 30.684178480490193, -97.14045602266567 )

So now I know that the Launch Site is 413 ft MSL ...

Nice stuff !

Next I redid all my OR Sims using that info instead of the Standard Atmosphere and the Peak Altitude increased on all my Sims

Based on the current weather forecast, we can fly to 2400 feet single deploy or 6000 feet dual deploy.

I am nowhere near ready to launch but when I do, I want to mind the Waiver Altitude Limits :)
