From= ddezulier@gmail.com
IP= 77.204.94.144
Product= XPlane
Version= 11.05
OS= Windows
Summary= mm50 airport altitude
Description= In numerous sources MM50 reported altitude is 250 ft

Unfortunatally MM50 is right in the middle of Cosalà city, which is at an elevation of 380 meters or 1246 ft

might be difficult to land one thousand meters deeper than ground local elevation.

mm50 airport is placed in Cosalà

Skyvector altitude is wrong also Great Circle Map and also VFRMap.com

as for Galilée (Galileo) be right against all, check good maps and fix error by adding a thousand ft to current altitude

many thanks

Steps= go to MM50
uncheck "runway follow ground level" and observe ... try to take off with a plane which is not a vtol one !

first picture landed on ground with "runway follow ground elevation" box checked

second on ... without

MM50 elevation is not 250 ft but 1345 ft
