Ain't no hills down Charleston way. It's barely above sea level.
even in dead flat country with no hills, ravines or man made radar obstacles like buildings if the nearest air traffic control or airport surveillance radar is 30 miles away then it won’t reliably see any aircraft operating below 500 feet, 40 miles away and it is 1000 feet
