What is the elevation for OLF Spencer?

• A. 150'
• B. 14
• C. 6
• D. 151'

Answer: (D)

Field elevation is the height of the airfield above mean sea level and is the reference used to set the altimeter and determine safe flight levels around the field. For OLF Spencer, the published field elevation is 151 feet MSL, so that is the value you use when calculating altitudes and altimeter settings in this area. The other numbers do not represent the field elevation, so they aren’t used for that purpose. Always rely on the charted field elevation to set your altimeter accurately and to fly at the correct heights relative to the airfield.
