Is there a complete Transition Level DB?

Featured Replies

Hi folks,can anyone help me finding a complete worldwide Transition Level database?Thanks in advanceLuigi ;-)

I do not know how this applies internationally, but take a look at this.http://www.aegeanseagull.150m.com/Training...er_settings.htmAlso, I see many approach plates with TA and TL on them for outside the US. They may also be on arrival charts where the settings might be more local.I would also check out the regional VATSIM sites for any info.

fine reading indeed, thank you.I was looking for published Transition Altitudes database.If there is any...cheersLuigi ;-)

transition level is never a fixed number .. depends on local qnh as to maintain a thick enough transition layer (minimum 500 ft).. transition altitude can also vary by region, for instance in the north of france TA is 4000 ft but in the auvergne region it is 6000 ft due to mountains .. best thing is to check airport charts .. (or fly in the usa where they make it easy, always 18000 ft ;-) )

As you say the Transition Level is not a fixed number because it is tle lowest useable Flight Level above the Transition Altitude.In the UK the Transition Altitude is 3000 ft except in certain designated CTRs, CTAs, and TMAs. The maximum is 6000 ft but reverts to 3000 ft in some of them outside aerodrome notified hours of operation. I doubt that there will be a world-wide data base.http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/64/DAP_ACD_8_Altimeter.pdf
