IFR flights will keep the x000 feet suggestions, and mixed will give both. Hallelujah, the rock is moving! 👍

My home base is located well under the Schiphol TMA (starts in general at 1500'). Any VFR flying will be done at 1200-1400, the last one for daredevils who can fly manually within 100' for an hour while doing all the VFR stuff in XX turbulence. Lately, SPL takes up any incursion, like 1600' in the TMA as a serious one. The time comes when they will start fines with serious amounts, 'çause they're fed up. Till now I set like 1200' manually in the radar display, leg by leg, which is cumbersome, till I now found out, it CAN be done in the aircraft profile! A place I would normally NOT turn to. Why not have in Flight details the Cruising level altitude select page option a possibility to select something like A1200 to force the system to use that iso levels?

Maybe there's a crack in my brains
