Geography of Kazakhstan with an elevation of 7,010 meters, or 22,999 feet above sea level; the lowest point is the bottom of the Karagiye depression at 132 meters, or 433 feet below sea level, in the Mangystau province east of the Caspian Sea. Most of the country lies at between 200 and 300 meters above sea level, but Kazakhstan's Caspian shore includes some of the lowest elevations on Earth. The peak Khan Tengri in the Tian Shan Mountains (and on the border with Kyrgyzstan and China) is Kazakhstan highest elevation at 6995m (7010m with ice cap). Many of the peaks of the Altay
Flight level is . In Europe, the transition altitude varies and can be as low as . There are discussions to standardize the transition altitude within the Eurocontrol area. On 25 November 2004 the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand raised New Zealand's transition altitude from and changed the transition level from FL130 to FL150. The transition level is the lowest flight level above the transition altitude. The table below shows the transition level according to transition altitude and QNH. When descending below the transition level, the pilot starts to refer to altitude of the aircraft by setting the altimeter to the
