* Within controlled airspace ATC may clear an aircraft to cruise at 14,000 ft (designated as NON STANDARD) in an emergency or when hazardous weather is reported or forecast. Other levels between 13,000 ft and FL150 are only available to aircraft carrying out special activity operations, such aircraft will be issued with a block clearance in the transition layer. Flights operating outside controlled airspace and under IFR may use any level between 13,000 ft and FL150 provided they are unable to operate outside that range, have established that there is no conflict with other aircraft, and have given prior notification of the altitude to be flown to an ATS unit.
** FL150 and FL155 must not be used as cruising levels when the zone QNH is 980 hPa or less.
