Are you (re)calibrating your altimeter frequently to assure it is set to current conditions? (B to auto calibrate)

Also above 16,000ft/FL160 (I believe this is correct, don't get that high often

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

I don't know if it's a universal, but if I remember right, it's 18,000/FL180 here in the US...

...I stand corrected... :-[ ...the TA (Transition Altitude) in the US is 18000 ft., as Esselbach states.

Though it varies throughout the real world, I believe that in the sim 18,000 ft. is universal.
