facthunter Posted Wednesday at 08:03 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:03 AM At the transition level is when you change and update on the ATIS. . I've seen it about 4 times and picked it up once from the jumpseat. . Not good eh!. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what ive always done with ultralights. In fact it's probably more accurate if you know your current elevation since that doesn't change from hour to hour, whilst the air pressure might. In my case the airfield elevation is different from one end to the other so I have to be mindful of that. I think it's maybe 30 feet difference. Not a disaster if you get that wrong but it pays to be as accurate as possible in general, doesn't it? Edit: I'm thinking of circuits and local area mind you.
