Negative Flight Levels

I am doing some work on data from Air Traffic Control radar.

The technical specification for the data indicates that the Flight level can be negative. This has surprised me a little.

I can only assume that it may happen if an aircraft was landing at an airfield which was below MSL (Schipol ?).

Can anybody confirm that a negative flight level is/ is not possible and, if so, under what circumstances.

Many Thanks
