As a long term user of PFE, I decided to download and try the PF3 DEMO. However, there is something that I cant quite get my head round!
I tried a short flight from Leeds to Dublin so that it would be less than the 200nm restriction of the DEMO. No matter what flight profile I chose (climb/descent of 2000fpm or 500fpm), when I check the flightplan altitudes, it always shows Cruise Altitude of FL320. This seems a bit high for this flight. I did fly it with the A320 and it was a fairly successful flight, albeit I struggled to get down to the FAF altitude.
In PFE, by adjusting the climb/descent rates, it would affect the Cruise Altitude in the flightplan and a more realistic Cruise Altitude could be achieved. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any assistance.
Bill
