An aircraft is flying on a magnetic track of 075 degrees. The QNH is 1010. What is the lowest available flight level to fly in accordance with the quadrantsl rule?
---------------
Assuming the Transition Altitude in this case is 3,000 ft amsl then the Transition Level would be FL 35. Since we are in the first quadrant an ODD flight level is appropriate so in this case Flight Level 50 would be appropriate.
Hope this helps!

OK - I understand that the transition altitude is 3000ft amsl - but if the transition altitude is 3000ft AMSL why is the transition level FL35 and the answer FL50? It needs explaining in basic terms! I'm probably just not seeing something I should be and haven't got access to my books at the moment!
