F4RIO Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 One of the planning factors (Advanced Parameters) that can set for fuel planning is "Planned FL". I assume this refers to cruising altitude (flight level). If this is the case, I do not understand how to enter my cruising altitude. The program only allows the numbers 20-73 to be entered. Perhaps "Planned FL" means something else. Can someone explain? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Mathijs Kok Posted April 29, 2017 Root Admin Share Posted April 29, 2017 It does mean Flight Level and FL20 to FL73 are the standard flight levels for a Twotter. I assume you know that you need to add two zero's to a FL to make it feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4RIO Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thank you for confirming about the "FL" notation, and yes I do understand that for example FL73 means 7300 ft. I figured out what was causing my confusion. I just discovered that the maximum FL that can be selected is reduced if the Trip Distance chosen is too short for the Twotter to climb to that altitude. Very nice simulation and supporting software. Looking forward to your new CRJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
