Metric Flight Level Assignment

SimBrief Dispatch
1

Hello, a little question…

So, i was dispatching a flight that going through Chinese airspace and SimBrief gave me this:

IKELA/K0832S1095

As far as i know, level 1095 is not a recognized RVSM level within Chinese FIR. Cruise level is FL360, so i was expecting to get S1100 over the Chinese airspace, not S1095. Is this a bug or is this a new change to the metric RVSM level assignment that i don’t know yet?

Thanks,

Christo

Hi Christo, thanks for the report.

While this FIR is marked as using metric altitudes in the AIRAC data, it seems some crossing airways should still use feet. I’ve checked some real-world flight plans and they all use feet on the IKELA A1 BUNTA segment, even though this segment crosses Chinese airspace.

I’ve now updated SimBrief to properly handle such cases.

Cheers,
