Operation with transition level below FL180
Hi all,
This question not depends on a specific aircraft type, but it might be different based on your company SOPs or personal criteria, reason I would like to know more about others' opinion.
The scenario is this, in several places your transion level is below FL180, for example Europe or some South American countries. Lets set for example FL040. If you get cleared for the approach above the transition level, would you wait to cross below it and swith to Baro reference, or as soon as you are cleared for the approach make the switch?
I have found the next text regarding this as well
The reference for the
altimeter setting should be done during the APPROACH CHECKLIST
after passing the respective transition level.
Your comments will be appreciated
