Setting the Altitude Along the Route
The easiest way to set an altitude for your route is to create it in FliteStar. If creating
a route in FliteDeck, the altitude will be set to an appropriate VFR or IFR altitude.
The value is likely the minimum altitude at which you could fly the route and does
not guarantee terrain clearance. FliteDeck allows you to change the altitude for a
route one leg at a time. You can also mark a “cleared-to” altitude in the Profile view.
To manually set the altitude for the route one segment at a time:
1. Clear any text from the Enter Waypoint text box.
2. Type an appropriate altitude value into the box (8500, FL120). If typing a
flight level, do not put any spaces between “FL” and the number.
NOTE
Starting at 180, any 3-digit value is interpreted as a flight level (FL). To
set a value below 1,000 feet, begin with a 0, for example, to indicate 800
feet, enter 0800.
The button labels on the right change to actions for setting an altitude. With
the exception of the Cleared To button, these buttons act on a single route
segment at a time.
3. Select the waypoint to which you want the altitude change applied.
• Cleared To marks your clearance altitude on the Profile view. The line
extends across the whole profile. If you later receive a clearance to a different
altitude, return to the Plan page and reset it.
