So, I’ve been wondering.
What is your most common altitude you fly at?
For me if it’s less than 4,999 NM it’ll be anywhere from 31,500 to 34,500 FT. But if it’s longer than that, (anywhere from 5,000 to 8,000 NM) it’ll be 35,000 to 37,500 FT
(Ignore my throttle being slammed open)
I am a trustworthy 747 pilot…
I know what I’m doing with my plane’s engines……………..
Depends on the aircraft, weight, if I’m flying east or west and sometimes even the airspace. Usually 34,000ft for flying west, and 33,000ft for flying east.
There isn’t really a common cruise altitude; it can change every flight based on the factors Canton mentioned, plus the route you are flying. I would
recommend using
SimBrief.com - Virtual Flight Planning Solutions for planning, as it provides the recommended altitude(s) for your specific flight and factors, so you’re no longer wondering, “What altitude should I fly at?”
I do use Simbrief. I’m just curious as to what altitude OTHER people fly at the most. Cause I feel like most people have a default altitude they like to use a lot.
Before I used simbrief, it was FL350 and FL360
My most common is 37,000ft
Since I fly only Emirates and a380, I usually stick with alt used by then for their actual flight and monitoring via flight radar. Btw they use ge flight pulse tech fully integrated with their fleet for analytics and performance so I fully trust on them for route and alt they use live. Now for typical alt if you were to spot me it would be FL390 when flying east and FL380 west.
judging by your name, I believe you. Now just need to know your callsign.
Haven’t been in for quite some time maybe you could spot me tmw. Likely EK45 ( Emirates 52M) would be my flight tmw Expert server (8:25 GST)
Noted.
(There, happy I filled the Stupid 10 character Limit)
Nah. My default is whatever simbrief gives me. Granted, since I typically fly the 737 or C-17, my target altitudes are typically FL39 and FL28 respectively
Cruising at a 500 deserves jail time
Mainly FL360, sometimes lower if the route is short. Only once I have gone to 400.
Short haul within Europe 26 -28k ft
Long haul 38k ft
But especially on long haul flights with head wind, I check winds on different flight levels and use the lvl with the lowest head wind. Always trying to get best compromise between best speed and lowest fuel consumption.
I wonder how a payment subscription would work, if we had to pay for gasoline 
instead of monthly payments. 
These days, i cruise between 10000 and 12000ft most of the time. Higher only when very high terrain is on my way.
I’m a little shocked at all the low cruise altitudes! Maybe I’m just ignorant of the norm outside the US, but cruising above FL36 is quite normal for all flights in the US. Of course props are a different story.
Haha, yes. If they had to pay the fuel, they would all go upper levels due to better efficiency
It depends mostly on where you flying and how
where = If you fly from East to the West (Like a FRA-MIA for example) you will use a even numbered flight level (FL300 - FL320 - FL340 -FL360 - FL380 - FL400 …)
And when you are from the oposite way (MIA - LHR for example) you will fly at odd numbered flight levels this time (FL310 - FL330 - FL350 - FL370 - FL390 - FL410 ….etc)
How = you can chose those level depending on if you are heavy after takeoff or not, initialy between FL300 and FL350 also depending on your aircraft type.
You should avoid flying a Flight levels with 500 because you don’t accurately reprensent the real Airline operations.
When you are using for example FL375 like in your screenshot here, for me and others that have great knowledges it means you are flying VFR with whatever the aircraft you are using wich look weird and also normal for those whom doesn’t know it 
the Dark arrows to the Left means West bound routes
The silver arrows to the right means East bound routes
Hopefully you will understand the meaning of the RVSM altitudes and how to apply them in Simulations 
it’s the highest I can go without losing too much performance (at least from what I’ve seen when flying)
