Anyone with access to kml files?
Post your elevation profiles for users to get an idea on climb characteristics.

How does one extract this from the .kml file?

Considering the CCX has a cruising altitude of 51,000, you’ve gone above and beyond! One of these days zbelle…one of these days…bang! Zoom! Straight to the moon! 😝
Back on course…I also don’t have Horizon access…yet. I’ll have something for you in 2 days 😉

I’ve taken that one way beyond FL600 (FL900), but the air needs to be very close to still in order to maintain level flight.

As promised @zbelle . My last flight from Tijuana to LAX
Comparing my profile to yours, it’s seems you may need to work on time management vs rate of descent for landing 😉
If you look carefully at my descent, I go from FL300 to 10,000ft and level off. (Usually will level off at FL200, however I calcuted my flight level to my waypoint perfectly so I descending past it to 10K). Then to 8,000ft and levelled for a bit before descending to 3,000ft and then to landing. You can make it easy on yourself and work on 1,000ft per 10 minutes, just keep a close eye on your map and distance to your destination.
