Interview question

[Floyd R. Turbo]

From my IP days I remember anything over 3000 MSL. I'll look for a source, but don't hold your breath.

I thought it was out of the TERPS manual and that it was areas of elevation higher than 5000ft.

Ahh... didn't think to look in that direction... can you point me to a source?

Don't confuse "mountainous terrain" with designated "Mountainous Area". Mountainous Area is defined and depicted by the map in AIM. AIM has no formal definition of mountainous terrain.

As if this wasn't confusing already.... then you throw this in!! What is the difference then? Wouldn't "mountainous terrain" be terrain in a "mountainous area?"
