41000ft

Hello fellow airbus pilots. I was reading that the A319 and A321 have a service ceiling of fl410. Is that attainable in the airbus suite? I get an "out of range" error if i try and use it in the A319.

Hello,

 

where did you read this? The maximum Flightlevel is FL396, so effectively 390 for practical operation.
