Question

While climbing into Class A airspace what pilot action is required?

(a) set transponder to 7700
(b) call FSS or flight watch on 122.0
(c) reset altimeter to 29.92
(d) reset altimeter to the nearest station within 100 NM

Answer 1

The correct pilot action required while climbing into Class A airspace is to reset the altimeter to 29.92.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct pilot action required while climbing into Class A airspace is to reset the altimeter to 29.92. Class A airspace is the highest level of airspace and is typically above 18,000 feet. In Class A airspace, all aircraft operate on a standardized altitude setting of 29.92 inches of mercury, regardless of the nearest station or current weather conditions. This ensures consistent altitude readings for all aircraft in the airspace.
