September 20, 201312 yr Hi guys. How do I set my Transition Altitude for T/O. I fly out of EGKK so in my aircraft I have it set for 6000ft as default in the options. Now I want to do a flight from the USA back to EGKK and I want to set it to 18000ft for T/O but just can't see where to set it in the FMC. Do I have to change it each time in the Aircraft options in the FMC? Tony Simpson FLYING FROM EGKK, The worlds busiest single runway Airport.

You can also set a default altitude on the options pages, subject to the following: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/421471-default-trans-alt-error/ (See the last post) Kyle Rodgers

September 23, 201312 yr Commercial Member Europe 6000 It actually varies... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_level#Transition_altitude If you Google "transition altitude [area you want to know about]" I'm sure something will come up. Kyle Rodgers
September 23, 201312 yr It actually varies... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_level#Transition_altitude If you Google "transition altitude [area you want to know about]" I'm sure something will come up. It's also shown on the SID charts in many places. John-Alan Pascoe
