Refer to the current Denver sectional excerpt near Springer. An obstruction there is charted as "6133 (300)." What is its height above ground level (AGL)?
Why: The parenthesized figure below a charted obstruction's elevation is always its height above ground level: 300 feet AGL here. The unparenthesized 6,133 is the obstruction's top elevation above mean sea level (MSL), not its AGL height.
6,133 is the MSL elevation (the unparenthesized number), not the AGL height, which is the parenthesized figure.
6,133 minus 300 approximates the ground elevation at the obstruction's base, not its AGL height — the AGL height is simply the parenthesized 300 printed directly on the chart, with no subtraction needed.
