Airport elevation - The highest point on an airport's usable runways, expressed in feet above mean sea level (MSL).
Airport elevation is 437 feet.
A word about simulated airports that are, like this one in Seattle, just outlines on the grass . . . and also about some other problems in Flight Simulator.
(See AIRPORT ELEVATION.)
FILED- Normally used in conjunction with flight plans, meaning a flight plan has been submitted to ATC.
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.

As an example: Suppose you are flying an instrument approach into Saranac Lake, NY, according to the FAA-approved “Localizer Runway 23” procedure. The airport elevation is 1663 feet.
AGL (Above Ground Level) Altitude expressed as feet above terrain or airport elevation (see MSL).
