China ATC phraseology?
Greetings,
I've been flying in and out of China lately and I hear ATC using the term "non standard" during climb and descent clearances. What are they talking about? I see alternate altitudes for transition altitude for high or low hPa but this hasn't been the case when ATC uses the phrase "non standard" Anyone have a clear answer?
TIA

Brown757,
I thought the same thing when I first started around these parts but what they are saying is...
"ON STANDARD" as apart from 'non standard' referencing hemisphrical levels.
As sometimes they may want you on STD rather than local QNH earlier or later than TX level depending on traffic.
Hope this helps
Boat - exciting and new!!!
