October 3, 201114 yr Ok here follows a copy off ATIS on ENGM "This is Oslo Gardermoen information H at time 1910Expect ils approach runway 19L and 19R in use Transition Level85 Wind 180 degrees 9 knots Visibility more than 10 kilometersOvercast 600 feet Temperature 11 dew point 10 QNH 1003Acknowledge information H at first contact" Transition Level 85 (is this trans alt 8500feet after takeoff ?)Or the question Im asking is what is the minimum hight after takeoff you should level at befor egetting new alt from atc (tought this was called trans alt) or dos it usely stand in the ATIS infor or given by tha ATC?
October 3, 201114 yr Author ok found it Initial climb ;) this is usely given by the ATC before take off right or the ATIS? and it also are on the charts..........
October 5, 201114 yr No, transition altitude and transition level are the altitudes at which you switch from the local altimeter /QNH to the standard setting (29.92/1013) and back (also where Flight Levels start) Anything below the TA is expressed in feet MSL, above is Flight Level. For example, in the US both the TL and TA are 18,000 ft/FL180. When departing an airport you set the local altimeter setting and keep that setting until climbing through 18,000 ft, then set 29.92. When descending to your destination and passing FL180 you set the destination altimeter (or sometimes a different airport's, if told that altimeter by ATC. The initial climb altitude will either be listed on the departure procedure chart, or assigned by ATC. Steve Caffey
October 5, 201114 yr ok found it Initial climb ;) this is usely given by the ATC before take off right or the ATIS? and it also are on the charts.......... It is normally given when you contact clearance delivery to activate your flight plan(real world), or from the tower prior to takeoff Jay
