Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 Missing after take off
It varies by your distance from the radar station. Basically, you have to account for the curvature of the earth. As you get farther, the horizon disappears from LOS (@ ~20 miles) so effective altitude increases.ScoobyDoes wrote: The truth will come out in the end but one question for experts would be, what height does radar actually start working with aircraft?
and from my terastrial broadcast days ... every 30 meter above ground will add a 40 km line of site. ...zzm9980 wrote:It varies by your distance from the radar station.

More info on the Iranians with fake passports.

Pouria Nour Mohammad Merhdad, 19, and Delavar Seyed Mohammad Erza, 29, had reportedly flown here from Doha using Iranian passports and then switched to the stolen Austrian and Italian passports to board the plane.

- the China satellites noticed some large (meters-long) objects along the possible plane route.
