The aerodrome's runway is nothing more than a green meadow surrounded by woody hills. Unless you fly a classic or an antique airplane, chances are slim that you will be allowed to land there.
aerodrome/airport elevation - highest point of an aerodrome's usable runway(s) expressed in feet above mean sea level (amsl).
AEW - Airborne early warning
AFB - air force base, usually U.S. or Canadian.
Aerodrome. A prepared area of land or water, including all building and fixtures, intended to be used for the operation of aircraft.
Aerodynamics. The science of the laws relating to forces acting on bodies moving in the air.
Aerodrome elevation : The elevation of the highest point of the landing area
Aerodrome meteorological office: An office, located at an aerodrome, designated to provide meteorological service for international air navigation.
AERODROME - An area set aside for the operation of aircraft.
AERODYNAMICS - The branch of fluid mechanics dealing with air (gaseous) motion, and the reactions of a body moving within that air.
Aerodrome - British word for airport. Exactly what you'd expect from a country that gives its aeroplanes names like Gypsy Moth, Slingsby Dart, and Fairey Battle Bomber.

Langley tested the Aerodrome for the first time on 7th October, 1903. The Aerodrome crashed soon after leaving the launch pad on the Potomac River. The front wing was badly damaged but this was repaired and a second attempt was made on 9th December.

As stated earlier, Air Traffic Controllers from this Aerodrome or Tower is responsible for the aircrafts operating on the airport grounds and the surrounding air, frequently 2 to 5 nautical miles in radius.
Transition altitude (TA): Altitude in the vicinity of an aerodrome at or below which the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by reference to altitude (with the aerodrome QNH set on its altimeter).
Manly piloted the Aerodrome on its first test flight on October 7, 1903; the test ended in seconds with the craft falling into the water ("like a handful of mortar," the Washington Post reported the next day) and Manly having to be fished out.
METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) - It is the primary observation code used in the United States to satisfy requirements for reporting surface meteorological data.
Elevation is the vertical distance of the aerodrome reference above mean sea level.
Height is the vertical distance of the aircraft above the ground - called above ground level (AGL) or above aerodrome level (AAL).

Like the original aerodromes of old, these fields are often very open, with no predefined runway. Pilots just start their takeoff run from the far edge of the field that most faces into that day's prevailing wind.
Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Airfield in Long Island, New York and made a successful touchdown at the Le Bourget Aerodrome in Paris, France. The flight lasted 33 hours, 30 minutes and 29.8 seconds.
