AGL "Above Ground Level" is a common abbreviation pilots use, and MSL stands for "Mean Sea Level" but neither of those precisely describe the number you'll see on your screen or on photos. The app and photos actually show you the height above your takeoff point, either compensated for how far that point is above MSL or not.
To understand this, imagine an 800ft hill. If you take off at the bottom and try to fly up the side to the top, staying 10 feet above the ground all the way, you'll hit the drone's height ceiling when you are about half way up, because you'll be 400ft above your takeoff point, even though you're only 10ft AGL. |
