Flights over 10k' (hard drive issues)...


I was concerned about the 10k limit but that is 10k at 131F. Figure the
density altitude and you are ok until the point where you will require
oxygen.


Do a web search on it, high altitude causes the drive heads to crash
onto the platter. If you have ramdisc or removable media storage it
shouldn't be an issue if you can shut the harddrive down or run without
one...
