7,300 metres (24,000 feet). [1] Black Kite: Milvus migrans: Accipitridae: 6,500 (21,300 feet) [6] The black kite can reach an altitude of around 37,000 feet especially during their migratory flight to and from West Africa in the second week of September and the last week of May annually.

Flight levels [3] are described by a number, which is the nominal altitude, or pressure altitude, in hundreds of feet, and a multiple of 500 ft.Therefore, a pressure altitude of 32,000 ft (9,800 m) is referred to as "flight level 320".
1960-08-16: 31.333 km (102,800 ft); Testing a high-altitude parachute system, Joseph Kittinger of the U.S. Air Force parachuted from the Excelsior III balloon over New Mexico at 102,800 ft (31,300 m). He set world records for: high-altitude jump; freefall diving by falling 26 km (16 mi) before opening his parachute; and fastest speed achieved ...

This may be significantly higher than 500 feet or 1,000 feet. 500 ft rule An aircraft must maintain an altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. 1000 ft rule

The aircraft’s pilot told the passengers the flight had suffered equipment failure for a few seconds, causing the plane to drop for almost 500 feet in the air, Jokat said.
The ambient air temperature is predictably affected by altitude, and this also has physiological effects on people exposed to high altitudes. The temperature effects and their mitigation are not inherently different from temperature effects from other causes, but the effects of temperature and pressure are cumulative.
