Q

How do you calculate Mean Sea Level (MSL)?

A
Take the field elevation	512 ft
Round up to the next
    higher 50 ft			550 ft
Add the feet AGL	          + 600 ft
Result is “feet MSL”

Convert meters to feet by multiplying field level in meters by 3.28 and rounding up to the next higher 50. This is your field level in feet. Add AGL and field level for MSL in feet.
