OLF Site X elevation?

OLF Site X elevation?

• A. 500
• B. 211
• C. 150
• D. 300

Answer: (B)

Field elevation is the height of the airfield above mean sea level and serves as the reference point for altimeter settings and calculating altitude above the field. For OLF Site X, the data show an elevation of 211 feet. That means the field’s reference point sits at 211 ft MSL. When you’re operating from Site X, your altitude above the field (AGL) equals your current altitude in feet MSL minus 211. For example, 1,000 ft MSL would be about 789 ft AGL at Site X. The other numbers are different possible elevations for other sites, not Site X, so they don’t apply here.
