So what if you take off on a QNH of 990 with a SID stop altitude of 5000' but are then cleared to FL080? Not only do you have to remember to respect the SID stop altitude but also remember to change to 1013 at the SID's end and re-set FL080........ When I did my TRE course for the CAA I recall that the UK Air Pilot states that when first cleared to a flight level all subsequent level instructions/limitations will be referenced to 1013. Are these new rules now saying thats now not the case and we'll now be having to respect 2 different level restrictions on 2 different altimeter settings all at the same time? I know its not a big deal but if you're distracted etc. then these errors are very easy to make.
The sky has just become a less safe place...........
