Which section contains aerodrome elevation data?

Which section contains aerodrome elevation data?

• A. GEN 2.4
• B. GEN 2.3
• C. ENR 5.4
• D. ENR 4.1

Answer: (A)

Aerodrome elevation is a basic reference detail published with the general aerodrome data. Elevation affects altimeter setting, performance calculations, and obstacle clearance, so it belongs in the general information about an aerodrome rather than in en-route or procedure sections. In the AIP structure, this data is provided in the General section under the aerodrome data area. That placement makes it readily available for all pilots and operators planning or conducting flights, which is why aerodrome elevation is found there.
