25 sty 2024 · A flight level (FL) is a standard pressure altitude, expressed as three numbers. Aircraft flying on flight levels all measure their altitude from the same pressure setting, 1013.2 Hpa (or 29.92 InHg). This is based on the principle of something called the International Standard Atmosphere.
To avoid mid-air collisions, aircraft fly at predefined altitudes known as flight levels. These flight levels are dependent on the atmospheric pressure and vary according to the weather conditions.
Flight levels use QNE or pressure altitude, while altitude references QNH or local pressure adjusted to sea level pressure. Altitudes are used at low levels and flight levels at higher levels. The transition between altitudes and flight levels differs by country and is generally just above the highest obstacle in that country.
Strictly speaking a flight level is an indication of pressure, not of altitude. Only above the transition level (which depends on the local QNH but is typically 4000 feet above sea level) are flight levels used to indicate altitude; below the transition level feet are used.
10 mar 2024 · Usually, FLs above 360 are reserved for long-haul flights or intercontinental flights(international). A320, Twin engine narrow body short-haul flight and not the very least wide-body jet engine aircrafts like A380, A350, B747, B777 etc., can fly at even higher altitudes like FL300 to FL460.
At and above 18,000 feet MSL (FL180), state the words "flight level" followed by the separate digits of the flight level. Example: 19,000 FLIGHT LEVEL ONE NINER ZERO
