This is the plan from Flight Aware
Some questions
They have planned M.084 is that slightly slower than normal cruise...maybe LRC? Are they running a very low Cost Index number for this flight.
At -> OIIX/N0485F400.......why knots rather than Mach number
Step climbs of 1000 foot steps seems like they have planned to be closer to optimum alt than the usual bracket technique, so why top out at F400 given the altitude capability of the aircraft. Winds above F400?
How do the flight following programs know the position /speed of aircraft far out to sea, I didn't think ADS-B satellite was running yet.
Interesting to watch this flight, they seem to be very close to the Great Circle track and abeam Singapore (north of coccus) they have picked up about 20-30 kts on the tail if 485 kts is right.
