The Maximum Elevation Figure (MEF) is a term used in aviation to refer to the highest elevation, in feet or meters, of terrain, obstacles, or other features in a particular area, taking into account a specified vertical clearance. This figure is typically used in aviation charts, especially in the context of en route navigation and obstacle clearance. The MEF is important for pilots to ensure safe flight operations by providing information about the tallest structures and terrain in the vicinity.
