A pilot sets return to home altitude high enough to clear local trees but does not notice that it would enter airspace above the permitted ceiling. What should the configuration achieve?

Answer

Set a recovery strategy that clears relevant obstacles while remaining within the permitted airspace and manufacturer limits. If no single automatic altitude can do that safely, redesign the operation or use a suitable model specific alternative.

Explanation

A setting can solve one hazard and create another. Recovery configuration has to fit both the physical and regulatory environment.
