What is the elevation for OLF Santa Rosa?

• A. 150'
• B. 151'
• C. 14
• D. 6

Answer: (A)

Field elevation is the airfield’s altitude above mean sea level, used as the reference for altimeter settings and altitude planning. For OLF Santa Rosa, the published field elevation is 150 feet MSL, so that is the figure you would use as the field reference when operating there. The other numbers aren’t the official field elevation: they are not the value listed for this field, and 6 or 14 feet would be unrealistically low for an airfield’s elevation, while 151 feet is simply not the documented elevation for OLF Santa Rosa.
