I have using the Inspire 2 in mountains that are taller than 1600 feet from the base and as a result of the 500meter limit above the controller we are unable to access the ridge line.   I have left many inquires about the height above the controller for the M200 but have gotten no response.  Unfortunately I cannot recommend this aircraft to the two counties who I work with for their SAR activities.  For the other industrial users contemplating the M200 or I2 be aware of this disability when considering antenna tower inspections or other inspections requiring flight above 1600 feet over the controller.  I dont understand the need for this limit in the professional or enterprise level aircraft.
