[Guest strychninekiss]

Hi JD and Co!I am flying from EDDF to EDDM.When told to decend to 11000 I do as told.But controll says I am busting my alt?!I know that europe has a different setting.So I use the Preassure selection knob below the analog alt indicator to set it to QNH 999. But it does not help I still keep busting my alt!I am sure this has worked before. Whats wrong? =//RegardsWilliam

Hi William,It's best if you use the Advanced Search option to only look in this forum. "QNH" revealed several topics. Here's a discussion JD and I had with a user just a week ago. It covers the same situation as yours.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchJD set a series of questions in that discussion. Feel free to answer them. ;-)
