"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... I worked a flight above FL600 just once. About fifteen years ago I was a controller at Chicago Center working traffic in the Madison, WI, area. A NASA ER-1 departed MSN requesting an unrestricted climb to FL610. What's an ER-1? I coordinated with the high altitude sector and issued the climb. He went up like a rocket! The Mode C readout couldn't keep up with him. Shortly after he reported out of FL600 and cancelled IFR, the Mode C read FL600. I asked a Data Systems Specialist about it and he told me that FL600 and higher will read out as FL600. Cool!!!
