Ive only been back in Europe less than a year after being in Asia over 9 years so haven't seen if there are any problems if you leave QNH value and just pull standard when passing transition. We never did that in previous companies but at my present European mob flying MSN 2000s its SOP to set 1013 before pulling standard. No info in FCOM either as to why, just in layer 2 of normal procedures,and a mention in a company KORA slide about not transmittjng the wrong level for level bust prevention. My reply was just in response thats its not as simple as just push QNH and hey presto the correct value from ATIS, METAR etc is already there.
