AGL (Above Ground Level)
The term AGL, or above ground level, is interchangeable with absolute altitude, as they measure the same distance. It is the measured altitude of an aircraft above the underlying ground that it is flying over.
Above Ground Level (AGL) - The measurement of the height of an obstacle above the ground. A 250’ radio tower is 250’ AGL. See also MSL.

The altimeter tells you your MSL (Mean Sea Level) altitude, your altitude above sea level, not AGL (Above Ground Level) altitude. The altimeter works by reading atmospheric pressure, which decreases as altitude increases and vice versa.
