It is height above aerodrome as the use QFE operation. For those of us unable to do so we have to convert that into QNH and fly accordingly. Charts by respected chart suppliers have all the relevant information as for example threshold correction factor to QNH, conversion tables between QFE and QNH etc. Helps of course to have a metric altimeter or the possibility to display both meters and feet on your flight instruments.
