FL300 refers to a flight level of 30,000 feet above sea level, commonly used in aviation. It is part of the standard altimeter setting used by pilots and air traffic controllers to ensure safe vertical separation between aircraft. At FL300, aircraft typically operate in the upper levels of the atmosphere, where air density is lower, allowing for more efficient fuel consumption. This altitude is often used for long-haul flights, as it helps avoid turbulence and weather disturbances found at lower altitudes.
