[Guest Cessnan1315efw]

Hey just bought the queen of Cargo very nice work guys!!! IM flying now from KPAE to KORD to deliver Atlas Air their new B74F adn im delivering it empty so that means i am very light! The FMC gave me an OPT altitude of FL440 right now....i dont think she can go that high can she? from what i know service cieling is FL410 or am i wrong?

oooooooooo ok i was just wondering becasue im stil flying and FMC is calling for a step up to FL450 in about another 400miles....do you think normally they would go up that high or just stay around FL410 even thoguht FL350 is thr optimum altitude?
