[Driver 170]

What is the typical cruising altitude of a 737 800 NG in the UK from EGPF/PH down to EGKK area? A STOA of FL410 with a cruise time of 15 mins roughly?

[Wirbelsturm]

What heading?
What weight?
Upper air temperature?
Upper winds?
Airspace restrictions?
MEL (DDG) restrictions?
SID from EGPF?
STAR into Gatwick?

It's a variable feast. :E

Who flies B738s between Glasgow/Edinburgh and Gatwick?

[Chesty Morgan]

Anyone who wants to I suppose.

[Driver 170]

I'm using a very powerful flight planner tool. But i would like to calculate my own flight levels for short hops around the UK. Can someone provide or point me in the right direction to go about doing this?

[Wirbelsturm]

Where did you get that from -

A flight plan.

[Driver 170]

was it from a company fp

[Wirbelsturm]

couldn't possibly say.

But i would like to calculate my own flight levels for short hops around the UK.

Sounds good, could I book a seat, please ?

Emergency exit row, if possible.

Checkout the FPPM for CFM56-7B26 / 738W / JAA ( Also CFM56-7B26 SFP and look at the Short Trip Cruise Altitude table :ok:
