Under VFR, the MEF guarantees 100’ obstacle/terrain clearance within that quadrant. What is the regulation concerning alcohol use for the pilot in command? Above 18,000’ MSL all aircraft set their altimeters to the standard pressure of 29.92. Do you need a taxi clearance from ground control in this area?

High-pressure conditions decrease altimeter accuracy, affecting terrain clearance and aircraft spacing. Here is an example of an FDC NOTAM (domestic format) asking pilots to verify the aircraft’s departure procedure is correct: !FDC FDC NOTAMs also provide information about TFRs and other special airspace.
