So use metres, but I noticed that flight will level off at 31,000 ft
rather than 9448.8 metres. so why not just fly at 10k meters
or 10km. or perhaps 9km if they can't make 10km.

Because that doesnt give enough flight levels.

BS, as a metre is only 3 inches more than a yard.

Flight levels arent done in yards, they are done in feet
and even a terminal ****wit such as yourself should
have noticed that there are 3 feet in a yard.

What's that got to do with it.

It determines how many of them you can have when
you want a nice round number like flight level 320.

and most airlines fly at around 30,000ft anyway.

But there are a number of available flight levels
at around that flight level 300 when done in feet
and far fewer when done in KM.

How.

Are yuo saying theres a flight level at 30,000ft and another at 29,999 and
another at 30,001 ?

Nope, flight level 320, 325 etc.

all the rest of your pathetic excuse for trolling flushed where it belongs
