Bloggsie,
What are you smoking now?? More of that No.! Good A__T??
The US transition altitude/level is 18,000/FL180 with no transition layer.
No low QNH problem there!!
Needless to say, Australia has to be unique, resulting in building in a few gotcha problems that can be "Examined", having a "No Problems" system just wouldn't do.
Tootle pip!!
PS: If US standards are so low, how come they regularly produce the best air safety outcome statistics?? In weather and geographical situations just a tad more demanding than anything in AU.
