In aviation and aviation meteorology, a flight level ( FL) is an aircraft's altitude at standard air pressure, expressed in hundreds of feet.
Poziom lotu ( ang. Flight level) – powierzchnia baryczna o określonym ciśnieniu oddzielona od innych takich powierzchni o określoną różnicę ciśnienia i odniesiona do specyficznej wartości ciśnienia zwanego ciśnieniem standardowym o wartości 1013,25 hPa (760 mm Hg).

Flight or flying is the process by which an object moves through a space without contacting any planetary surface, either within an atmosphere (i.e. air flight or aviation) or through the vacuum of outer space (i.e. spaceflight).
In 2013, the global 737 fleet had completed more than 184 million flights over 264 million block hours since its entry into service. It was the highest-selling commercial aircraft until being surpassed by the competing Airbus A320 family in October 2019, but maintains the record in total deliveries.
This listing of flight altitude records are the records set for the highest aeronautical flights conducted in the atmosphere, set since the age of ballooning. Some, but not all of the records were certified by the non-profit international aviation organization, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).
A Flight Level ( FL) is a standard nominal altitude of an aircraft, in hundreds of feet. This altitude is calculated from a world-wide fixed pressure datum of 1013.25 hPa (29.921 inHg ), the average sea-level pressure, and therefore is not necessarily the same as the aircraft's true altitude either above mean sea level or above ground level.
