I think it is something like "the altitude at which your rate of climb at full power is reduced to xxx feet per second" but I don't know what the numbers are. Anyway, I have flown my L320 with a O320-D1F engine to 17,999 feet (VFR) and she was still climbing at a very slow rate. I hope this helps. Bob Jude N65BJ
