Speed/Altitude
The custom altitude and speed profile is used to specify up to 7 altitude
and speed constraints that may be required to adjust the flight’s vertical
and speed profile. The constraints may be required for safety, economi-
cal or political reasons. These will be included in the flight plan and af-
fect fuel consumption.
The waypoint drop-down presents a list of the waypoints in your current
route. Choosing a waypoint will then allow you to specify a cruise Mach
speed or cost index and an altitude or flight level constraint for the
waypoint. In the Cruise/CI field, you can choose a speed profile or Cost
Index used from this waypoint.
