Anyone else considering this?
That sounds really hard and like a very tough job for your pilots to gauge such a rough distance. Not saying it won't work, just it's pretty tough and probably won't make too much difference in the end (that's like half a foot higher, right?). Better to just go with the consistent height imo.
