Flight Level is a standard altitude measurement system used in aviation. Unlike altitude, which is measured from the ground level, Flight Level is established based on a standard pressure reference, allowing for consistent altitude navigation regardless of atmospheric conditions.
Introduction. There are several ways to indicate the vertical position of aircraft and/or obstacles. Each of them has a different meaning and is used in a particular situation: - height. - altitude. - flight level. Units for vertical position. In general, vertical positions are expressed in FEET (ft).

An aeroplane flight manual (AFM) is a document produced by the aircraft manufacturer containing detailed information on the operation of the aircraft. The AFM details the recommended aircraft operating technique for normal, abnormal and emergency operation together with the Aircraft Performance that should be achieved when the aircraft is ...
General Guidance for the FTOM: The FTOM is an operations manual for the flying organisation in the same way as a normal operations manual is for any other flying organisation. As such, the general principles of the Air Operations regulation1 relating to operations manuals should apply:
Level flight: Level flight means flying at a constant altitude—not going up or down. Turning : When you move the yoke/stick to the left or right, the airplane will roll in that direction. Climbing : When you pull back on the yoke/stick, the airplane starts a climb.
