RPT priority at capital city aerodromes - get rid of it!

http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=243780

Don't fly above 10,000 ft without oxy - get rid of it (erm, as in not just willy-nilly, use the US rules instead)! This makes two more levels available, FL115 & FL125. It would work even better than it does for the septics, coz they would have to check the QNH to see whether they can use 12,500 FT coz its based on cabin pressure altitude which we can read off the altimeter. On the other hand we wouldn't be able to use 10,500 FT because of our silly altimetry rules, which (despite NAS changes), don't conform to the US.

Transition altitude - get rid of it!

Transition level - get rid of it!

Transition layer - get rid of it!

Lowest available flight level remains FL110 if QNH >1013, FL115 if QNH between 997 & 1012, etc.

Set 1013 when climbing through 11,000 FT

Set QNH when descending through lowest available flight level.
