altitudes - jon - 26-11-2005
when using the flight planner if FS9, FS appears to assign really low altitudes. can someone provide me with a range of altitudes for
distance ranges? thanks

it depends on your plane, if its a short hop I will grab a Baron or Caravan and cruise at about 7,000-8,000 ft, if its a 300+ mile trip I will prolly
cruise right around its peak like around 30,000-38,000

Altitudes vary based on MANY factors. To list them all here wouldn't be logical. If flying a jetliner, use cruising altitudes between FL180
and FL370 (as a rule of thumb). Some aircraft can go higher (i.e. 747), while some max out around that level.
