Does anyone know of a composite listing of the proper altitudes for international flights? (In addition to international flights, flights internationally, that is when in individual global countries from one interior airport to another.) Particularly, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. I have been useing domestic USA regulated altitudes, but have no idea how this jives with the rest of the world. So far the VatSim controllers have been letting me get away with it, but I am not sure I am correct.On the UK VatSim site, I was unable to find their regulations but probably overlooked them or just don't know exactly where to look. (Or in any of the other VatSim Regions for that matter.)Thanks:RTH

Not easy to reply.Some European countries go by the East/West rule, just like in the USA, but some other European countries go mostly by the North/South rule, due to their geographical shape. In the second case, you will notice the E> or O> signs next to the affected Airways in your Jeppesen map, indicating whether you are expecte to fly an Even or an Odd FL depending on your direction.Also, bear in mind that RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minima) is enforced throughout Europe, meaning that FL300, FL320, FL340, FL360 FL380 and FL400 are valid flight "even" levels.Stamatis

I forgot to mention that some European countries have specific rules for domestic flights. For example, in Italy, if your Origin and Destination are both inside the Italian airspace, you cannot file higher than FL280, no matter what type of aircraft you are flying.RegardsStamatis

And I believe Russia is not using flight levels in feet but in meters.That means that when you are a passenger in an aircraft entering Russia, you will notice the border crossing as the aircraft climbs to FL330 to 10600 meters (just an example, not sure it's exactly like that).--Machdiamonds

Thanks for the link.Ummmmm. May I assume that the following which I received in another post is now outdated (Oct.03)? Note Enroute altitudes in the link.Copy:Hello,You might like to try this site for UK rules:http://toandfromtheairport.tripod.com/FlyUK.htm It threw up the data below when I looked, Cruising LevelsFor flight outside controlled airspace above 3000' and below FL245 it is recommended that the following quadrantal cruising levels be adopted:Mag Trk 000-089 deg: Odds FL30, FL50 etc Mag Trk 090-189 deg: Odds +500' FL35, FL55 etc Mag Trk 180-269 deg: Evens FL40, FL60 etc Mag Trk 270-359 deg: Evens +500' FL45, FL65 etc For IFR flight within controlled airspace, semicircular levels will be assigned.
