Is ceiling height in Area Forecasts (such as the broken layer at 3,500 in the following example) given in AGL or MSL? (Ceiling height only. Not tops, not other layers that are not ceilings, such as scattered layers. Only ceilings.)
Please DO NOT look up the answer first; this is just a short quiz to see if *most* pilots routinely read ceilings in Area Forecasts as AGL or MSL. If you look up the answer, it will invalidate the "first response" hypothesis of this quiz. (And although I know the correct answer now, I'll be the first to confess to being confused before I looked it up).
