Flight levels in PFPX


Recommended Posts

Every flight that I make shows a INT ALT of about 17000ft. If i input no step climb i will stay at this FL the hole time and if I put step climb 4000 then it goes 17000ft to 39000ft.

My question is how do I get it to be a flight level of 36000ft without having to do a step climb?

Thanks for the help in advance.

The Airway V300 is limited to a maximum altitude of 18000ft, so PFPX will initially plan a climb to 17000ft and after HE to FL390.

If you want to climb to FL390 immediately you can:

  • Reroute to an upper airway (e.g. DCT YVR J500...)
  • Enter FL390 as initial Cruise Altitude/FL (PFPX will climb immediately to this altitude and maintains this until top of descent)
