Altimeter Setting - [Transition Altitude, QNH and QNE] 

If you any question regarding the Transition Altitude leave a comment below and I will Naswer you! Happy Landings...

The clearest explanation that I have ever found on the internet!

Best explanation sir ,i was searching for last 3 days but now got everyone clear

Bravo; you have made this concept very easy to understand without complicating it like most other RU-vidrs do. You have for sure gained another subscriber...keep up the great work and I will start watching your other videos.

ı am training and preparing for turkish airlines F/o asssestments with your videos. . thx a lot mate. you are a legend . thx a lot.

Best and easiest explanation out there!

Thank you very much for your great explanations ✨🙏✨

Thanks a lot captain ....this one was really really useful.

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.

Bro thank you so much! I got what I looked for! God bless!

Best and simplest explanation found on youtube till now!! Thnku sir for this amazing support!!😊😊

Ottimo , grande video. Grazie mille !!

Thank you Gabriel, I will add this to my watch list for another view. You have earned my subscription ✌️

Excellent explanation! I just subscribed.

Good Job brother keep it up looking forward to more videos

best explanation ive ever gotten on the internet!

Thanks for the video, I was struggling to understand this but you made it very clear!

I love Italian accent in English Amazing man , I enjoyed the speaking more than explanation 😉. A320 tutorials if you don’t mind Capitano 😘

Thanks a lot, very interesting and comprehensive explanation!

It was helpful thanks

great work , cheers fella

Your videos helps me alot.....Thank you Captain 😊😊

Very helpful and well explained. Many thanks, Pilotclimb.

it was really helpfull.. you are amazing at teaching.. i wish i had you as my teacher.. thank youu sir.. 👍🏼👍🏼

Very nice video sir ❤❤

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.

Thank u

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!

13:00 is the important part

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?

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 ?

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?

Nice sir, can u upload video on RNAV and RNP

when landing we must change from qne to qnh on the TA?? please make a video for the landings..thank you captain

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.

Sir qnh means atmospheric pressure at mean sea level then how different aerodrome have different QNH

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

QNE is also the "STD" on the Barometer correct?

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)

Thanks for the explanation. My question is Why we use QNH most of the time for landing and not QFE?

Is QNE the same as SPS

Thank youuuu ❤❤
