Displaying Altitudes

Minimum Enroute Altitudes (MEAs)

Changing Flight Altitudes

In the Profile View, you can select a different altitude for each segment of your trip. The number of segments available is based upon how many waypoints are between your departure and destination airport. If you only have a departure and destination airport on your route, you only have one route segment. This situation primarily occurs on GPS/Direct routes. Use the rubberband feature to add waypoints along the route line. To change the altitude:

  1. Select one or more segments of the planned route by clicking on the segment. A pink highlight appears on the segment that you selected.

  1. Click and drag the segment to the desired altitude. The altitude selected displays to the left of the view.
