AFAIK the atltitude is determined from the closest triangle overflown. ie you can land on an aircraft carrier. This could be modified if every node that was not actual terrain was 'labeled' as to its 'flyability' . I am not sure of the time cost assosciated with the adittional check but it shouldn't be too bad.
