Transition Level/Altitude

Since your friend doesn't like the KISS method, see if this makes his funny parts tingle...

It should confuse him just enough to realize he should have taken the earlier simpler advice...

I think it's just easier to remember that you have transition level when coming from a level and transition altitude when coming from an altitude

That's how I remember it. Starting from a level: TL, starting from an altitude: TA.

This has always been confusing to me as well. The A and the V is a good tip. To me, transition level SHOULD mean, when i'm entering the flight levels!, not when I'm leaving them.
