What is a Level Bust?
A Level Bust is defined as:
A deviation of 300 feet or more from the
assigned level
This may take one of three different forms:
1. An aircraft in level flight climbs or
descends without clearance
2. An aircraft climbing or descending fails to
level off accurately at the correct level (either passing through and
continuing the climb or descent, or passing through and then returning
to the correct level)
3. An aircraft levelling off at the correct
level or altitude, but with an incorrect altimeter setting
