Flight level - 14 CFR 1.1
Tags: 14 CFR 1.1, FAA, Regulatory
Flight level means a level of constant atmospheric pressure related to a reference datum of 29.92 inches of mercury. Each is stated in three digits that represent hundreds of feet.

Flight level (FL). A measure of altitude (in hundreds of feet) used by aircraft flying above 18,000 feet with the altimeter set at 29.92″ Hg.
Flight Level (FL)
A level of constant atmospheric pressure related to a reference datum of 29.92 inches of mercury. Each is stated in three digits that represent hundreds of feet.
Flight Level (FL) - The exact altitude, to the nearest 100 foot increment, at which an aircraft is flying during the enroute portion of the flight. Flight Level information is used by air traffic control for aircraft separation purposes.
Flight Level
Altitudes flown with the altimeter set to 29.92 inches Hg. Each is stated in three digits that represent hundreds of feet.
Flight Level. For example, FL310 is an altitude 31,000 ft. above sea level; used for altitudes above 18,000 ft.
FLANK(ING)
1. (USAF) Target with a stable aspect of 120 to 150 degrees. 2. (Naval) Target with stable aspect of 30 to 60 degrees.
FL: flight level (using altimeter datum of 1013mbs).
ft/min: feet per minute.
g: normal acceleration.
FL - flight level, a level of constant atmospheric pressure shown by an altimeter set to a standard 1013.2 millibars, expressed in rounds hundreds of feet, thus FL330 is 33,000 feet. ...
Class A is generally the Airspace of 18,000 ft mean sea level (MSL) up to and including flight level (FL) 600, including the airspace overlying the waters within 12 nautical miles of the coast of the 48 contiguous States, and Alaska.
The Speedbird (BAW969) is at Flight Level 160 (FL160 - about 16,000ft), 1,000ft above the Air France (AFR670) who is about to enter my sector at FL150. The Speedbird is on its way out, at its requested altitude.
For nonprecision approaches, use the FLC (flight level change) or VS (vertical speed) options to set airspeed or rate of descent. Use VS when you want a specific descent rate; for example, to reach a step-down altitude.
a. Concerning altitude/flight level, the term means to remain at the altitude/flight level specified. The phrase "climb and" or "descend and" normally precedes "maintain" and the altitude assignment; e.g., "descend and maintain 5,000." ...
Flight Level - An altitude above 18,000 feet expressed in 3 digits. Ei; FL 350 for 35,000 ft.
Flight Plan - Information relating to the intended fight of an aircraft that is filed with ATC
FIC - Flight Information Centre ...
Class B airspace is designed to help manage the flow of high volumes of airline traffic as these aircraft descend from the high-altitude flight levels into the lower altitudes and eventually the airport itself. It also helps manage their departure.
With a down slope runway, rotate the aircraft to a flight level attitude and fly the aircraft off the down sloping runway. If you would rotate to the same attitude as on a normal flat runway it could result in a stall.
AREA NAVIGATION ROUTE
means an area navigation route within the airspace extending upward from, and including, 18,000 feet MSL to flight level 450
ARF
Almost Ready to Fly. A prefabricated aircraft.
Altimeter An aneroid barometer instrument calibrated to indicate height above a given datum. Can be set to give height above ground, altitude (height above sea level) or a flight level in accordance with the International standard pressure setting.
Above transition altitude QNE is set and flight levels used. Also called transition level (TL) at which a descending aircraft changes from FL to QNH.
