The pressure set on the subscale of the altimeter so that the instrument indicates its height above the reference elevation being used [e.g. aerodrome elevation] [1] Runway in use 22 Left, QFE 990 hectopascals QFF: Atmospheric pressure at a place, reduced to MSL using the actual temperature at the time of observation as the mean temperature. QNE
At that point the runway should be visible to the pilot; if it is not, they perform a missed approach. Bringing the aircraft this close to the runway dramatically improves the weather conditions in which a safe landing can be made. Later versions of the system, or "categories", have further reduced the minimum altitudes.

Runway 13R at Palm Springs International Airport An MD-11 at one end of a runway. In aviation, a runway is an elongated, rectangular surface designed for the landing and takeoff of an aircraft. [1] Runways may be a human-made surface (often asphalt, concrete, or a mixture of both) or a natural surface (grass, dirt, gravel, ice, sand or salt).
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).
Stephenville airport has one asphalt runway (14-32) which is 4,209 ft. (1,283 m) long and 75 ft. (23 m) wide. and sits at an elevation of 1,321 ft. (402 m) above mean sea level. The airport had 13,270 aircraft operations in one year. [1] There are twenty-five aircraft based on the airfield [1] and has a development estimate of $3,600,000. [3]
The exact definition and reference datum varies according to the context (e.g., aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, or atmospheric pressure). Although the term altitude is commonly used to mean the height above sea level of a location, in geography the term elevation is often preferred for this usage.
Hatch Municipal Airport covers 166 acres (67 ha) at an elevation of 4,129 feet (1,259 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway: Runway 11/29 is 4,110 by 60 feet (1,253 x 18 m) asphalt. [1] In the year ending April 7, 2023, the airport had 2,500 operations, an average of 48 per week: 4% military, 96% general aviation and 4% military.
