I created a flight plan to fly from KPVD to KPQI.
SimBrief displays the following:
FL STEPS KPVD/0170/PEAKE/0410
What should I set my cruising altitude to 17000 or 41000?
in ‘FL STEPS KPVD/0170/PEAKE/0410’ why do I have two flight levels?
Hi, in this case you should probably set your cruising altitude to 41,000.
SimBrief likely planned a short level-off at 17,000 due to an airway restriction on your route. Often ATC will let you climb right away to 41,000, but it isn’t guaranteed, so SimBrief plans a level off just in case. This ensures you have enough fuel if you do need to level off for a bit.
Best regards,
