These include: The maximum elevation of the area (high point); [a] The minimum elevation of the area (low point); [b] The arithmetic mean elevation of the area (statistical mean elevation); [c] The median elevation of the area (statistical 50% elevation); [d] and; The elevation ...
Maximum elevation figure (MEF) is a type of visual flight rule (VFR) information that indicates the elevation of the highest geographical feature within a GEOREF quadrangle area. It is of interest to pilots, who want to be aware of the highest mountain peaks and tall towers nearby, so that they can fly above them to avoid controlled flight into ...
