Which is generally how high? How bout the MEA's in the area?


The New York trio is 7,500', Philly is 7,500', and the Baltimore/DC trio

is 10,000'.
Of course, the ADIZ reduces the utility of being able to get over the DC

class-B.
Glancing at the IFR chart for this area, I see one MEA as low as 1,600'

and a high of
14,000. Most are in the 2-5 thousand foot range. There have been noises

about
increasing the NY class-B to 10,000'.


Denver's runs to 12,000 and, come early summer I'll likely be flying out of
Colorado Springs, 6200' up to 6900' if I base near Blackforest (00V). MEA's
westbound run in the high 13's.
