o  When we perform flight above the "transition altitude" it must be

                              performed  in  relation  to  the  default  setting  of  1013  hPa.  Thus,

                              everyone  flying  above  the  transition  altitude,  which  is  3000  feet

                              above MSL (except in Copenhagen TMA, where it is 5000 feet above

                              MSL) will fly with the same altimeter setting. It's smart, because the

                              air pressure can easily vary by 10 hPa from Skagen to the border to
                              the south.

                          o  When flying above the Transition Altitude, you are flying in "flight

                              levels" for cross-country flight.


















               The illustration here above shows a sketch of the relationship between clearance

               heights and clearance levels and setting the QNH. (sorry for the language)




               2.6.2   Flight Levels


               All flights operating under VFR (Visual Flight Rules) above the clearance height

               must, when operating cruising, follow the rule that there are certain levels to fly

               in when flying in an easterly direction and other levels to be used in a westerly
               direction.





               Here is how VFR travel is carried out. It is
               called the East-West rule.
