6-437: Gaylord Regional Airport covers an area of 1,572 acres (636 ha) at an elevation of 1,328 feet (405 m) above mean sea level . It has two asphalt runways : 9/27 is 6,579 by 150 feet (2,005 by 46 m) and 18/36 is 4,200 by 75 feet (1,280 by 23 m).

12-492: A conference room, a shower, snooze rooms, a lounge, office space, and more. Elevation The elevation of a geographic location is its height above or below a fixed reference point, most commonly a reference geoid , a mathematical model of the Earth 's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface (see Geodetic datum § Vertical datum ). The term elevation is mainly used when referring to points on
18-473: The Earth's surface, while altitude or geopotential height is used for points above the surface, such as an aircraft in flight or a spacecraft in orbit, and depth is used for points below the surface. Elevation is not to be confused with the distance from the center of the Earth. Due to the equatorial bulge , the summits of Mount Everest and Chimborazo have, respectively, the largest elevation and
24-582: The landscape at different scales. Tools inside the GIS allow for manipulation of data for spatial analysis or cartography. A topographical map is the main type of map used to depict elevation, often through contour lines . In a Geographic Information System (GIS), digital elevation models (DEM) are commonly used to represent the surface (topography) of a place, through a raster (grid) dataset of elevations. Digital terrain models are another way to represent terrain in GIS. USGS (United States Geologic Survey)
30-595: The largest geocentric distance. In aviation, the term elevation or aerodrome elevation is defined by the ICAO as the highest point of the landing area. It is often measured in feet and can be found in approach charts of the aerodrome. It is not to be confused with terms such as the altitude or height. GIS or geographic information system is a computer system that allows for visualizing, manipulating, capturing, and storage of data with associated attributes. GIS offers better understanding of patterns and relationships of
36-588: The same time period, there are 25 aircraft based on the field: 16 single-engine and 7 multi-engine airplanes , 1 jet , and 1 helicopter .
