Transition altitude query

Featured Replies

Hello there, you may think this a daft question but here goes....I usually find the transition altitudes from charts online but... I can't find the TA for Hawaii or Alaska.Is it the same as US (18000) or do they have specific ones?Can't find it on any online charting so would be grateful for an answer from any good people on here.I know it's hardly PMDG but hey, all good forums help out a fellow flyer :( John Ellison

Hi John,My charts say 18000 for Alaska, I'm pretty sure it's the same for HawaiiRob

Yes, all US states, territories and possessions (not that there are many left).

Cheers Rod and Dan :( ,thought as much but when you see on a site 'TA 18000 except for Alaska and Hawaii', you always get that nagging feeling you're missing something lol. (Know the TL isn't right but with no proper ATC...)Know it's not a must but I like to put them in just to make it slightly more correct lol.Same as having the charts, at least a look gives me an idea where I am, especially in non-US as it gives you a handle on getting the right STAR as it's not always obvious.John Ellison
