1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to;
use a first sensitivity level to interpret an input signal received from an input device in a vehicle while the vehicle is in a first region;
use a second sensitivity level to interpret the input signal received from the input device in the vehicle while the vehicle is in a second region, wherein the second sensitivity level is greater than the first sensitivity level; and
control the altitude of the vehicle using a signal other than the input signal from the input device, wherein the input device is not configured to control the altitude of the vehicle and no other input device is provided which controls the altitude of the vehicle.

Abstract
A first sensitivity level is used to interpret an input signal received from an input device in a vehicle while the vehicle is in a first region. A second sensitivity level is used to interpret the input signal received from the input device in the vehicle while the vehicle is in a second region, wherein the second sensitivity level is greater than the first sensitivity level.
