Hmmmm...I wonder why they're within the FAA's Eastern Designated
*Mountainous* Area then?



People in D.C. don't know what a mountain is?


I presume you're speaking of the FAA. Most of the technical stuff is
headquartered in OKC. And, yes, those folks know a whole lot about
mountains, terrain effect, altimeter errors, and so forth.

I suspect it is you who don't have a firm grasp on what constitutes
mountainous terrain.
