A question about FMS altitude setting


MWH

Recommended Posts

When I have produced a flight plan with PFPX I have noticed that there is sometimes particularly on a long flight a recommended initial Flight cruise level which some time later is increased ie from FL 320 to FL340 then it may be increased later to FL 360. I have assumed this is to do with the weight of fuel and optimum performance/economy.

I am not certain how to program the FMS on the Airbus Extended X A320/A321 when this happens. Should I call the cruise level FL 360 or FL320 or should I change the FL on the INIT page mid flight or on the CRZ page.

I have not been able to find this explained in the documentation. I would appreciate an explanation.

Thank-you.

Hi Michael,

enter 320 as cruise level and lateron when you do the step climb just push the alt button once, this should change the FMS cruise als automatically.
