Cruising

Cruising is the phase of flight when the aircraft is flying at a constant altitude and airspeed, typically after reaching its desired altitude. During this phase, the pilot adjusts the aircraft's attitude and power settings to maintain the desired flight parameters. The cruising phase is the most fuel-efficient part of the flight and can last for several hours, depending on the aircraft's range and the distance of the flight. The cruising altitude is determined by factors such as aircraft weight, outside air temperature, and the route being flown. The aircraft's speed during cruising is typically close to its maximum range speed.
