Couldn't find these in one place, so here they are for any other newcomers. Posting them to see if anyone has something to fix/add?

Sea-level is at 20m.

Access-lists are enforced up to 15m above ground level (without an added security script).

Flying/Hovering more than 50 meters above ground level will cause you to drift downward at 3.39m/s. More than 100 meters it increases exponentially to 17m/s drift.

Highest flyable altitude is 170m above ground level (without tricks).

The cloud layer is at ~160m-240m.

Highest altitude for anything is 768m.

SetPos movement limit is 768m, the buildable limit. (in most sims, this is a recent change)

An addition note, avatars can carry attachments to extream altitudes. There is more information about this in the following thread
