Just for my understanding: this table is only used for instrumentation,
isn't it?
Both JSBSim and YASim have their own atmosphere models including such
tables where JSBSim goes up to 259186ft and YASim to 18900m (62008ft).

Reminds me that I should test again, if it's still possible to reach
Earth orbit and do interstellar travel with an F-16 ;) Maybe this got
better in newer JSBSim versions. But it's pretty strange, since JSBSim
should be the FDM to do this right with the table up to 260Kft...
