Higher Initial & Optimal Cruise Altitudes
Winglet equipped airplanes can achieve higher operational altitudes than the baseline non-winglet equipped airplane. This results in the following:
- Winglet equipped airplanes can achieve higher initial altitudes eliminating the requirement for initial level-off altitudes.
- Winglet equipped airplanes can achieve approximately 1,200 ft higher optimal altitudes than non-winglet equipped airplanes.
