henrimarch Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I don't know if this is the right place for this question, so if not excuse me. In the preferences you can set FMC inputs to kg and meters, however the Flight Level entry must be entered in feet. Is this intentional ? Piet.

Flying is in feet all over the world with the notable exception of Russia and China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, in Russia they have changed to FL (so feet) above TA/TL some time ago. Only below is still meters. http://www.ifalpa.org/downloads/Level1/Briefing%20Leaflets/Air%20Traffic%20Services/12ATSBL06%20-%20Russian%20RVSM%20introduction.pdf Edited April 26, 2016 by Chrjs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrimarch Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yes I realized this after I posted this, because also all the charts are in feet, I think. You would create chaos if it came with two versions. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this might cause unneeded confusion no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
