WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. I fly Cessna-172 in Vermont. A comment that I would like to make is that usually private pilots know the 29.92, which is the same as 1013 hPa. At the beginning I got confused. Your explanations are superb. Thank you.
Hey Mike. I hope you are doing great!! Many thanks for watching the video!!! I'm very happy it helped you out!! Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have when watching the videos!!! I wish you a great weekend. Gabriele Pilotclimb
@@PILOTCLIMB Great, thanks, Gabriele. This time I was looking specifically for Transition Altitude but I see that you have many more videos. I'll work my way through them. Thanks, again. Best wishes, Mike
As I read from some other source they said that " is different to the other altimetry Q codes in that it is an altitude not a pressure ". Would you like explain this, tks.
You are more than welcome!! Many thanks for you kind support!! Don't hesitate to ask me any questions when watching the rest of the videos. I wish you a great day!
So QNH is changing because mean sea level may rise up or down and because of that we use QNH to have the mean sea level altitude so we can have the correct altitude for example for ILS approach so it counts correctly. But flying in simulator where water sea level pressure does not change have not affects and leads me to landing very low during ILS. So I should use QNE all times in simulator when you have no weather set.
Hi Gabrielle, I have a question: in approach charts, usually the transition level is not provided, they say "transition level by ATC" and the chart only informs a transition altitude. However, when descending, we need to change our altimeter back to the local QNH at the transition level, is that right? In that case, if we are not flying online or if there is no ATC online, is there a way to calculate the transition level from the transition altitude?, to make sure our simulation is done correctly? Thanks!
Hey, many thanks for watching! Yes you are correct! You can calculate the TL from the TA, however you need to know what is the transition Layer used at that airport.. usually is 1000feet. Let me know if you have more questions
Hey, many thanks for watching! The Airports have different QNH because the pressure at the mean sea level changes from place to place. It is not a constant value. Let me know if you have more questions.
Why the transition altitude in some of airport is different? I.e from airport A transition alt is 10.000 and from airport B transition alt is 13.000? Thank you
Hey, thanks for watching! Most probably the Terrain in the areas of the airports that you mentioned are different. Higher terrain higher Transition Altitude. Let me know if you have more questions
Great video, thank you. Question: I understand the reason for using QNE. But, let's say that an airliner is flying at FL400 from NY to London. And let's say that as the flight progresses over the Atlantic, there are multiple High pressure and Low pressure systems over the ocean. So, the QNH down below is changing. Would that mean that the actual altitude above MSL for the airplane is also changing? If so, I guess it means the autopilot is descending and then climbing the airplane to maintain the FL400 and to account for local altimeter pressure levels? Is that right?
Hey, thanks for watching!! During descend you change from the standard 1013 to the local QNH when passing through the Transition Level. I will make a practical video soon. A little note about the video.. Commonly we refer to QNE as a pressure reference, however if you really want to be precise the QNE is the difference in feet that there is between your aircraft and the standard 1013hpa. Check the following video about the QNE definition I made: ua-cam.com/video/a7odxOsZDuQ/v-deo.html Let me know if you still have any questions.. I wish you a great day! Gabriele Pilotclimb
Thanks for all the videos. For IFR flights above the Transition Level, will the autopilot for all the aircrafts in flight be required to pick up the needed altitude from the altimeter or could some airplanes be using GPS based altitude? If so, are there any other flight parameters for the autopilot that are not allowed to come from the GPS?
Hii I have a doubt When do i change from QNH to QNE in case i am not climbing/ crossing Transition Altitude and when do i change back to QNH (while going to another airport with different Transition Altitude/ Level)
Hey, thanks for watching!! I hope the video helped you.. We use QNH during landing and descend because all the minimum altitudes (that we have to respect in order to maintain the terrain separation) take as reference the mean see level. So you want to use the same reference as the minimum altitude and the terrain elevation in order to keep the separation. Let me know if I answered the question. Have a great day
@@ravindrakeshkar1518 You are welcome. It is important to understand what pressure reference your destination airport uses for landing. I have been flying in Europe for more than 15 years and I have only used the QNH for landing. The QFE is used in some countries (very rare) and to perform altimeters tests.
@@PILOTCLIMB Understood Sir..!! Just wanted to understand the concept why QFE is not used often. Is it to standardize everywhere or does it have any other impact
@@ravindrakeshkar1518 You want to use the QNH to make sure that we use all the same pressure for that area and, on top of that, since the terrain elevation is measured from the mean sea level you want to use the same reference to be able to separate yourself from the terrain.
Hi hope you are good. I have a big list of interesting question for you pilot. Answer as much as you wish… 1. Who gives use trans level when it varies (atc , atis ,,any others) 2. Trans alt is fixed for countries . How do they calculate it ? 3. What is the maximum thickness of transition layer. (the answer should highlight the importance of having the layer and not only 1 level reference but a layer...) 4.What are Common trans alt for some countries 5. Transition layer only climb and descent we never cruise there.Its not common for atc to say maintain FL or atltitude inside transition layer ( but if they ask maintain we should maintain... )but my question is that they ususally dont cruise there true... since we wanna climb and descend . And if controller said maintain a flight level or altitude in between the layer… it would be risk if no horizontal separation of aircraft also it would be risk if airclafy arf flying or descending around it true… 6.Why don’t all countries have the same transition altitude. 7. Is there a benefit of decreasing this transition altitude .I mean in Lebanon transition altitude is 13,000 ft while in germny transition altitude is around 5,000 ft. 8.Can we have sps standard pressure system 1013 hpa =qne at local conditions = qnh is it possible? 9.Whats if passing throght a surface inversion ? wouldn’t local presuure change.. would atc know or atis know if a surface inversion suddenly happened... 10.How many times do we usually change qnh : local pressure while climbing? While descending? 11.Who uses qfe the field of the pressure ? Russia? Airshows close close to the ground or even sometimes airlines to cross check things? 12.How is transition altitude determined? ( also note that Denali Mountain in USA is higher than trasn alt 18,000ft) (hmm i though trans alt should be clear of all obstacles) 13.What about the horizontal and vertical separation in transition layer? How is this done? Do different countries have different regulations and procedures for this? 14.What if it’s a busy airport like London heathrew airport and trans alt is low maybe I belive it's 3,000 ft . 15.1013.25 or 1013? Doesn’t it make a difference? Cant this rounding cause errors or accidents? 16.What is the relation between 1hpa = 27 ft around 9m …Is this number always constant ... shouldn't it vary with temperature or pressure? 17.If its foggy isn’t qfe field pressure better than qnh local pressure … also can you land if its extremely foggy and cant see anything? 18.There is an instrument in cockpit called radio altimeter (I n cat 2 or 3 ils) that works below 2,500 ft maybe that reads height (above that its doenst show )....it shows only in cat 2 or 3 but does it need the pressure as well? 19.What are rounded to 1000 ft and what are rounded to 500 ft ( trans alt and trans level) 20.How do you find qnh if you don’t have a control tower or traffic? 21.Do some counties have a fixed transition level ? 21.What if a country has many airports? Do they all have the same trans alt? same trans level ? hmm? 22.While descending some pilots put qnh long before reaching transition level ? hmm ?why? isn't this risk? Or im mistaken they apply qnh at tranition level ?

You are very welcome! The Altitude is based on the Altimeter.. The GPS altitude could be used as a reference for some nn procedure
Hii
I have a doubt
When do i change from QNH to QNE in case i am not climbing/ crossing Transition Altitude and when do i change back to QNH (while going to another airport with different Transition Altitude/ Level)
In that case you should respect the transition level/altitude of the areas your are flying.. the ATC will help you with that
Is QNE the same as SPS
I'm not familiar with SPS
Thank u
You are welcome! Have a great day
Thanks for the explanation. My question is Why we use QNH most of the time for landing and not QFE?
