The information in this article applies to:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) cruising altitudes stated on page 91 in the
Microsoft Flight Simulator Information Manual and Flight Handbook for version
4.0 are incorrect.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The "Cruising Altitudes" section on page 91 states the following:

  IFR (instrument flight rule) traffic flies even thousands east and
  odd thousands west (not plus 500 feet). FAR Part 91.109 and 91.121
  outlines these altitudes and all the fine points and exceptions
  concerning them.

This section should read as follows:

  IFR (instrument flight rule) traffic flies odd thousands east and
  even thousands west (not plus 500 feet). FAR Part 91.179 outlines
  these altitudes and all the fine points and exceptions concerning
  them.
