    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_sickness

    [2] [4] Risk factors include a prior episode of altitude sickness, a high degree of activity, and a rapid increase in elevation. [2] Being physically fit does not decrease the risk. [ 2 ] Diagnosis is based on symptoms and is supported for those who have more than a minor reduction in activities.

    The human body can perform best at sea level, [7] where the atmospheric pressure is 101,325 Pa or 1013.25 millibars (or 1 atm, by definition). The concentration of oxygen (O 2) in sea-level air is 20.9%, so the partial pressure of O 2 (pO 2) is 21.136 kilopascals (158.53 mmHg).

  5. Altimeter setting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter_setting

    QNH and QFE are arbitrary Q codes rather than abbreviations, but the mnemonics "nautical height" (for QNH) and "field elevation" (for QFE) are often used by pilots to distinguish between them. QNH and QFE will have errors when not at station elevation. QFF is aerodrome pressure (QNH) reduced to sea level. It is designed to read zero at sea ...

  9. Height above ground level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_above_ground_level

    In aviation, atmospheric sciences and broadcasting, a height above ground level (AGL [1] or HAGL) is a height measured with respect to the underlying ground surface.This is as opposed to height above mean sea level (AMSL or HAMSL), height above ellipsoid (HAE, as reported by a GPS receiver), or height above average terrain (AAT or HAAT, in broadcast engineering).
