*[[#Pressure altitude]] divided by 100 | *[[#Pressure altitude]] divided by 100 is referred to as the flight level, and is used above the transition altitude (18,000 feet (5,500 m) in the US, but may be as low as 3,000 feet (910 m) in other jurisdictions). When the altimeter reads 18,000 ft on the standard pressure setting the aircraft is said to be at "Flight level 180" or FL180. | ||
