Altitude

Entering Altitude

Two different formats for entering altitudes are supported:

Expressed in feet

The standard unit of entered altitudes is feet. The extension "ft" should not be added to the input.

Flight level

When a flight level is entered, the altitude argument should start with "FL". For example: "FL250" equals 25000ft. The flight level must be an integer. The length of the flight level text should be at least four characters. For example, "FL5" should be expressed as "FL05".
