June 13, 20223 yr Altimeter setting referenced to standard pressure setting (29.92 in. Hg/1013.2 hPa). Set QNE/STD altimeter setting at or above the Transition altitude (18,000 feet in the U.S.A.) and ascending through the Transition Layer. Altimeter setting referenced to standard pressure setting (29.92 in. Hg/1013.2 hPa). Set QNE/STD altimeter setting at or above the Transition altitude (18,000 feet in the U.S.A.) and ascending through the Transition Layer. Altimeter setting referenced to airport ambient local pressure. When on the ground, causes the altimeter to read airport field elevation above Mean Sea Level (MSL). When airborne, causes the altimeter to read aircraft altitude above MSL. Transition Altitude The upper limit of flight with the altimeter set to sea level pressure (QNH). Flight above the transition altitude is conducted with the altimeter set to QNE/STD Transition Level The lower limit of flight with the altimeter set at the standard pressure 29.92 inches of mercury or1013.2 hPa. Flight below the transition level is conducted with the altimeter set to QNH Use of QNH altimeter settings is preferred when operating below the transition altitude Different countries based on Geographically location have different TA/TL. On Jeppsen plates, you will find the info, ATIS, ATC and if it is significant (low or high-pressure situation) it will be advertised by ATC. Usually, before TOD we preselect QNH in anticipation of the TL and within 500 FT of TA we switch to QNH or QFE. In our days, FMC/MCDU has automatically in DBSE for the geographical location where is TA/TL, it's just that has to be manually preselected and switched to when appropriate. If there is a high difference in pressure and you have to level off close to TA/TL you might notice a change in ROD but if you just blast off these altitudes you might not notice any significant changes in ROD or pitch to compensate for.

Well, I'm afraid that there is no good answer for you even is in a concise manner in purpose not to confuse you. A short sentence is not copy and paste. Unfortunately, even though you claim to know and got somehow the answers, it's still not good enough for you. Keep up the good work. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

June 13, 20223 yr On Airbus if you pull the alt select button it will go STD before t.o. is no event (you already have it set to QNH or QFE if approved for that operation. Before TD push momentarily alt select, which will allow you to preselect your QNH/QFE to the correct setting and then pull the knob again back to STD. TA/TL it can be set manually in MCDU for DEP or APPR page pushing PHASE if is an older MCDU version. Newer versions (A/C) will have it part of the DBASE and you actually don't have to go on DEP/APPR pages. Edited June 13, 20223 yr by LRBS 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
