enza Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Even though I follow the assigned block altitude (FL080-FL090) within the TC outbound to the training area, I keep getting the "Check your altitude!" message. Anyone else experience this? Enza
Sabre-TLA Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Do you have your Altimeter QFE set appropriately - 2833? MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates
Precog Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Me too - aren't those block altitudes AMSL? Therefore your need qnh not qfe Check out my 'real world' video series [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sabre-TLA Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Correct. I was referring to what the tower gives you at takeoff which allows you to set your altimeter to ground level (0). If you fly to the waypoint's elevation you shouldn't have any problems staying within the altitude block. MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates

I thought QNH/QFE would be given in hPA not inches of HG? Enza
