Help with altimeter question for air law exam
Hi,
I was not sure where i should post this question. I am just about to do my air law exam. I have been working through some example questions and i am not sure how to work out the following and need a bit of help:
A pilot setting off on a cross country route in a cruise climb over a part of the country where the transition altitude is 3000 feet, has just been given a regional pressure setting of 970mb(hPa), from a local ATSU. His magnetic track is 260deg. What will be the transition level and what will be the lowest availabe flight level that the pilot can use, in accordance with the quadrantal rule? (assume that pressure falls with increasing height by 1mb every 30 feet).
a. FL45 FL60
b. FL40 FL55
c. FL30 FL30
d. FL45 FL55
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Ross
