Hectopascals to feet
Type a value in hPa to get it in ft instantly.
That's 1.48× as high as the US transition altitude, while the summit of Everest is 1.09× higher. The standard atmosphere there is about 350 hPa.
Convert the other way: ft to hPa
What it means
How high is that?
A flight level is a pressure altitude on the 1013.25 hPa standard setting, not a height above the ground. On a cold day the aircraft is genuinely lower than the level says.
The math
How to convert hPa to ft
A flight level is simply hundreds of feet: feet = FL × 100. Pressure follows the standard atmosphere, which falls by about 1 hPa every 27 feet near sea level.
Example: 350 hPa = 26,631.4 ft.
