The 2,900 ft MSL limit for Collin Co RGL McKinney (TKI) is expressed in which unit?

Explanation:
Altitude restrictions are given relative to mean sea level. Saying 2,900 ft MSL tells you how high you may be above sea level, not how high you are above the ground. This standard reference keeps the limit consistent regardless of terrain. If you want to think in terms of height above the airport or ground, you can subtract the field elevation (in feet MSL) from 2,900 to get feet AGL. For example, if the field is about 1,000 ft MSL, the equivalent limit would be roughly 1,900 ft AGL. Other units—AGL, Flight Level, or feet above touchdown—do not apply here for this restriction.
