Will take a look today/tomorrow, is the plan. Presumably I have messed up an AGL/AMSL value reading the tower position.

Just to confirm, this is caused by AMSL/AGL confusion. The problem is determining the ground elevation at the tower lat/lon - in the short term I'll use the airport elevation, since that should be plausible. Determining the precise elevation depends on have the relevant scenery tile loaded.
