In C++ code src/Scenery/scenery.hxx one of:
FGScenery::get_elevation_m;
FGScenery::get_cart_elevation_m;
should do what you need.
Dependent on how often you need to compute that and how far away from the
actual aircraft you need to know that the groundcache accessible from
FGInterface might be faster.
That provides you with the same information in a small area around the
aircraft (usually only the bonunding sphere of the aircraft model plus a few
meters) in a more performant way.
