Why FL180?
Why are we called Flight Level 180? As most of us know, FL180 is a special altitude. Flight Level 180, or FL180, in the United States is known as the transition altitude. At this altitude aircraft are required to adjust their altimeter setting to 29.92", and ATC must be vigilant to maintain safety separations and avoid potential conflicts. That is our mission and goal, when you transition to working with FL180 on your specific aircraft needs, we will be vigilant in meeting those needs by avoiding and, navigating any potential conflicts in your quest to buy or sell your aircraft.
