Flight Level and a half
Is there a proper phraseology for reporting leaving 33,500? The AIM
doesn't say; it always assumes you're at a whole number flight level. |

I didn't know you could be at a 500ft level in Class A airspace (which
I've never flown in, except in a commercial carrier). According to FAR =A7 91.135 : Operations in Class A airspace. Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, each person operating an aircraft in Class A airspace must conduct that operation under instrument flight rules (IFR) and in compliance with the following: (a) Clearance. Operations may be conducted only under an ATC clearance received prior to entering the airspace. I've never received an en route clearance to an altitude other than in the thousands, (except, of course during departure or approach). |

He didn't say he was level, only that he was reporting on the freq leaving an altitude. We get this all the time here, an RJ 30 miles out still in the low to mid 20's descending. |

Uh....if you're between 18K and 60K in the US, then you are required
to be on an IFR flight plan, hence only at even number altitudes. 33,500 is inappropriate. |
