Elevation =/= Altitude

"Altitude: vertical distance between an object and the local surface of the Earth. Elevation: vertical distance between the local surface of the Earth and global sea level. The local surface of the Earth will be either land or water surface."

The altitide on the field was fucking nil.

If you're going to use altitude then you need to specify your reference point.

From the FAA: True Altitude is height above mean sea level (MSL). • Absolute Altitude is height above ground level (AGL). • Pressure Altitude is the indicated altitude when an altimeter is set to 29.92 in Hg (1013 hPa in other parts of the world).
