Cleared vs. indicated altitude mismatch

Featured Replies

I am cleared to FL200, have reached FL200 as indicated on my altimeter, I am above the transition level of FL180 (inside the U.S.) and have therefore switched to standard barometric pressure (29.92), yet P2A repeatedly commands an expedited climb to FL200??? (i.e., the altitude I have already reached). My "Allowed Altitude Variance" is set at the default of 150 ft. I notice that if I climb to ~20,400 ft., P2A stops complaining that I am below my cleared altitude.
Question: Why the discrepancy between my indicated altitude and the altitude at which P2A detects the plane to be? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Related question: Is there a way, in P2A, to view/request the aircraft's current detected altitude (i.e., the altitude at which P2A thinks the aircraft to be)?

It's possible that the plane you are flying is not reporting it's altitude to FSUIPC/XPUIPC in the standard manner.

There is currently no reporting of indicated altitude in P2A.  Possible future enhancement.

For now, you might want to set the variance higher....500+ ft.
