or if that link doesn't work for you, the video at the link labeled
'New York crash location' located on the lower left corner of this
page: http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/11/plane.crash/index.html ,
indicates the flight descended from 1,500' to 400' during a 180 degree
turn.


He couldn't have been at 1500' there without busting Class B. He flew up the

I find it difficult to believe, that a pilot intent on compliance with

prior to attempting a 180 degree turn there.


What's the regulatory difficulty?
