CodeVerticalReferenceType

urn:aero:airm:1.0.0:LogicalModel:Subjects:Common:Codelists:CodeVerticalReferenceType

A code indicating the reference for a vertical distance. Two series of values exist: 1) real distance: from GND, from the MSL, from the WGS-84 ellipsoid; 2) distance based on a difference of pressures, according to the standard atmosphere.

Properties:

Properties Definition Type
MSL The average location of the interface between the ocean and the atmosphere, over a period of time sufficiently long so that all random and periodic variations of short duration average to zero.

enum value

WGS84 WGS84 is an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed terrestrial reference system and geodetic datum adopted as the common geodetic reference frame for civil aviation.

enum value

STD The vertical distance is measured with an altimeter set to the standard atmosphere.

enum value

SFC The distance measured from the surface of the Earth (equivalent to AGL - Above Ground Level).
