Narrative:
Descending to a crossing restr of 13000 ft at somto, we forgot to change altimeter setting from 29.92 to 29.45. We leveled at 13000 ft and were cleared to 11000 ft. As we descended to 11000 ft the controller asked us to check our altitude. He told us that we had leveled at 12600 ft at somto. We then changed to the correct altimeter setting and leveled off at 11000 ft. Supplemental information from acn 366330: need to be more vigilant and attentive. Must cut back on distrs and conversation during descent.

Title: B737-400 CLRED CROSS SOMTO AT 13000 FT. FORGOT TO SET CURRENT ALTIMETER SETTING 29 PT 45. CTLR CLRED THE FLT TO 11000 FT AND ADVISED TO CHK ALT.
Narrative: DSNDING TO A XING RESTR OF 13000 FT AT SOMTO, WE FORGOT TO CHANGE ALTIMETER SETTING FROM 29.92 TO 29.45. WE LEVELED AT 13000 FT AND WERE CLRED TO 11000 FT. AS WE DSNDED TO 11000 FT THE CTLR ASKED US TO CHK OUR ALT. HE TOLD US THAT WE HAD LEVELED AT 12600 FT AT SOMTO. WE THEN CHANGED TO THE CORRECT ALTIMETER SETTING AND LEVELED OFF AT 11000 FT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 366330: NEED TO BE MORE VIGILANT AND ATTENTIVE. MUST CUT BACK ON DISTRS AND CONVERSATION DURING DSCNT.
