Thanks Beags for further clarification.

Quite impressed a Bucc can get up to FL390 and stay there.

As you might gather I never got to fly anything quite so capable, so perhaps someone could also even vaguely enlighten me on how one might calculate optimal cruise altitude for fuel efficiency for any given type?

Are there any hard and fast rules/terribly sophisticated equations you can employ or is it just look at the dials and see what you get?

As for tanking, what generally dictates the level selected?

Someone just tell me to shut up if I'm getting tedious.

Insomniacs of the world unite, and we'll catch everybody else asleep.....
