The other day I heard on Center "Helicopter 1234 with you Flight Level
340". This can't be possible, can it?


Nope, not possible. FL340 is not a useable altitude until January 2005.

Care to elaborate? Do you mean we have been doing something illegal all
these years?

In the U.S. all Flight Levels 290 and above are odd thousands to give 2000
ft. separation. E.G. FL 290 eastbound, FL 310 westbound, FL 330 eastbound
etc. Newps is probably talking about the reduced separation coming up if
you have certain equipment installed?
