Just some info please
Hello
I would like to know what maybe to some guys a very simple/silly question but how do professional pilots get a figure on cruise altitude?
I am very intersetd in avaition and have many DVD's...i would just like to know how they work out what a cruise altitude should be on a short internal flight from say EGNM-EGNT in the uk would be compaired to a long haul flight from EGLL-KLAX? For instance?
And what is Transition altitude?
Is it the safe altitude around an airport..??
These questions would make watching my DVD's more understandable?
Kind Regards Paul Teasdale
