GPS altitude vs altimeter altitude
The airport elevation is the highest spot on a runway, not
the ramps or taxiways. Depending on the local terrain,
there can be more than 50 feet difference on the runways.

| To respond to the original posters question. I have often
asked the
| same thing. My observations are this. My plane is sitting
in the hangar
| at 6412.37 msl. The airport was just recently surveyed so
I am sure
| this is a real close number.

| They just surveyed the airport, and they put the datum
point in your
| hangar?
