  2. Flight level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_level

    The transition level (TL) is the lowest flight level above the transition altitude. The table below shows the transition level according to transition altitude and QNH. When descending below the transition level, the pilot starts to refer to altitude of the aircraft by setting the altimeter to the QNH for the region or airfield.

    Helicopter following a river to enable low level flight AH-64 Apache at the Oirschotse Heide Low Flying Area The lowest NOE flying is by helicopters because they have lower speeds and more maneuverability than fixed-wing aircraft, particularly fast jets.

    NATO tactical ultra-low-level flight training in Canada is located at CFB Goose Bay in Labrador.In response to lessons learned from the Vietnam War and the growing sophistication of Soviet anti-aircraft radar and surface-to-air missile technology being deployed in Europe, NATO allies began looking at new doctrines in the 1970s–1980s which mandated low-level flight to evade detection.

    They are available for flight below Flight Level 180 (approximately 18,000 feet (5,500 m) above mean sea level (AMSL)) under either instrument flight rules (IFR) or visual flight rules (VFR). Victor airways have minimum (and possibly maximum) altitudes for IFR operations established.

  6. Lowest safe altitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_safe_altitude

    In aviation (particularly in air navigation), lowest safe altitude (LSALT) is an altitude that is at least 500 feet above any obstacle or terrain within a defined safety buffer region around a particular route that a pilot might fly. The safety buffer allows for errors in the air by including an additional area that a pilot might stray into by ...

  7. Altimeter setting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter_setting

    It is the setting that causes an altimeter to read the aircraft's flight level (FL). Flight levels are given in hundreds of feet (for example: FL100 = 10 000 ft). Atmospheric pressure changes over time and position. Thus, the flight level is not "straight", because it has a different altitude (elevation above the mean sea level).
