Platform altitude is what value?

Platform altitude is the fixed reference altitude used for all calculations in this setup, defining where the platform sits vertically so every computation uses the same baseline. In this problem, the scenario specifies the platform at 5000 feet above mean sea level, a value chosen to ensure the required vertical separation from terrain and to align with the standard training profile. This makes 5000 ft the correct reference. The other values would place the platform outside the scenario’s assumed height, disrupting the intended spacing and calculations.
