A germ \(f: (\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0) \to (\mathbb{C},0)\) of analytic functions is called an isolated hyperplane singularity of transversal type \(A_k\), if \(f(x,y_1,y_2, \dots, y_n)= x^kg(x, y_1,y_2, \dots, y_n)\) for some germ \(g:(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}, 0)\to (\mathbb{C},0)\) of analytic functions such that both \(g(x,y_1,y_2, \dots, y_n)\) and \(g(0,y_1,y_2, \dots, y_n)\) have isolated singularities at the origin. An isolated hyperplane singularity \(f=x^kg\) of transversal type \(A_k\) is studied in this article. Among other results, it is shown that the Milnor fibre of \(f\) is homotopy equivalent to the wedge of a circle and \(k\mu+ \sigma\) copies of the \(n\)-sphere, where \(\mu\) is the Milnor number of \(g(0,y_1,y_2, \dots, y_n)\), and \(\sigma= \dim_C \mathbb{C} \{x,y_1,y_2, \dots, y_n\}/(kg+ xg_x,g_{y_1}, g_{y_2}, \dots, g_{y_n})\).
