>From memory, a 747-400, on a long haul flight would typically climb initially to somewhere around FL290-FL350. After a couple of hours of burning fuel, they would probably request somewhere from FL350-FL410. Reported cruise speed of anywhere from M.82 - M.86.
Of course it's all highly variable depending on the aircraft's configuration, company policy, and what the captain had for breakfast. Diarmuid Tyson > >-- or is 300kt IAS at 30000ft normal for a 747?
