Default altimeter errors

The guy at 18,500 is a) IFR, b) alt set on 29.92, c) his ALT should have had

transponder. e) moving fast and bigger than you!

If you are there ---you should have a TPAS or TCAS or a transponder.


And I believe ATC won't allow him to fly at FL185 if that is only 500
feet above 18,000 msl. Isn't the minimum clearance to 18,000'msl at
least 1000 feet?
