Flight Level 190?

Question

How high is FL190?

Answer 1

!9,000 feet.

Answer 2

One flight level per hundred feet above sea level in class A airspace.  So in practical terms it is an alternative way of stating altitude.

FL190 = 19,000 feet above sea level; FL250 = 25,000 feet; FL 380 = 38,000 feet, and so on.

Nobody uses the old military term "angels" any more.  It was one angel per thousand feet.  So "angels 19" is 19,000 feet and so on.  It's only used in old war movies.

Answer 3

FL190 is 19,000 feet.  At or about that level pilots and ATC announce altitude in flight level.  Below that level altitude is reported in feet.  EG . . . "UA189 departing FL 230 for 10,000.

Answer 4

The term "Angels" might have been in old military movies because pilots who go to war use it everyday, even at this very moment.  That consists of Naval Aviators all over the world flying gray airplanes with tailhooks and helicopters who hawk them all the way. "Cherubs" follows for altitudes below 1,000ft.  Granted, it's not used with controllers in Class A airspace over the US, but everywhere a boat goes is proper protocol.

Ex. "Angels twenty-three" = 23,000ft MSL, and "Cherubs five" = 500ft., however "Angels seven point five" logically gets the message across meaning 7,500ft.

Answer 5

Flight level 190 is also called Angels 190.

You would be 19,000 feet above sea level.

Answer 6

--About 19.0 thousand feet above the standard datum plane.  Lower if the air column is colder and drier than standard, higher if the air column temperature is hotter and more humid.  

(--FL 190 is usually not 19.0 thousand feet above mean sea level)  The standard datum plane (FL 000) is usually not at mean sea level.

And a  pilot reporting in "angels" would call it "angels 19," not "angels 190."

The transition flight level is not always FL 180.  The transition altitude is not always 18,000'.

Answer 7

19000 feet with a standard pressure setting of 1013.25 hectoPascalls (millibars) or 29.921 inches of mercury.

Answer 8

when reaching 18,000 feet pilots no longer use thousands to describe their altitude. barometric pressure is reset to 29.92 and from then on they us FL which means flight level and cut of the last 2 digits... in ways as FL180=18,000 feet  or FL190 which is 19,000 feet.
