Altitude

The altitude shown for the transatlantic flight I was tracking has been shown as between 300 and 340 feet.... which seems dangerously low to me!

Sorry to revive an old thread. I noticed this while demonstrating the website to some co-workers. I think the altitude is being mis-stated as feet instead of flight level. I saw a flight at "275 feet" doing 520 knots over the midwestern US!

The display should show FL before the altitude in hundreds of feet above wherever the transition is set.  Nominally, FL applies to altitudes above 18,000 feet.

This thread was about the airnavlive.com online service and it appears to have been fixed.
