A standard nominal altitude of an aircraft based on a standard altimeter setting (29.92 inHg / 1013.25 hPa). Flight Level 350 means 35,000 feet. Used above the transition altitude.
Separation Standards
Minimum distances or time intervals required between aircraft to ensure safety. Vertical separation is typically 1,000 feet; horizontal separation varies by radar coverage and airspace type.
