What is the correct way of transmitting the number 13 500 to indicate an altitude or cloud height?
Refer to figures.
ICAO Annex 10 — Aeronautical Telecommunications
Chapter 5
5.2.1.4.1.5. All numbers used in the transmission of altitude, cloud height, visibility and runway visual range (RVR) information, which contain whole hundreds and whole thousands, shall be transmitted by pronouncing each digit in the number of hundreds or thousands followed by the word HUNDRED or THOUSAND as appropriate. Combinations of thousands and whole hundreds shall be transmitted by pronouncing each digit in the number of thousands followed by the word THOUSAND followed by the number of hundreds followed by the word HUNDRED.
Note: The following examples illustrate the application of this procedure (see 5.2.1.4.3.1 for pronunciation).
| Altitude | Transmitted as |
| 800 | Eight hundred |
| 3400 | Three thousand four hundred |
| 12 000 | One two thousand |
