FMS.30.13
The first cruise flight level at 5L is mandatory data once the primary destination
is entered and is taken from the nav database for the company route or may be
flight crew-entered. Five additional cruise levels are optional and may be flight
crew-entered. Multiple flight level entries must be separated by slashes.
NOTES: If preceding slashes are not used, the previously entered values
will be cleared if the entered new value is higher than the aircraft
altitude. Lower CRZ LEVELS require FMS transition to DES before
a lower flight level can be entered.
Entering a CRZ LEVEL below the thrust reduction altitude will
prevent FMC computation of F-PLN predictions.
Both the temperature and average cruise wind component may be entered at 6L.
The default value for the cruise altitude temperature is standard day conditions.
NOTE: The TEMP/WIND entry is not compulsory but does help the FMS
compute better predictions.
