You can, of course, write "FL 310" if you like. I thought about
allowing prefix units like this, most common for currency, but decided
against it.
I've added the following:
flightlevel 100 ft # Flight levels are used to ensure safe
FL flightlevel # vertical separation between aircraft
# despite variations in local air
# pressure. Flight levels define
# altitudes based on a standard air
# pressure so that altimeter calibration
# is not needed. This means that
# aircraft at separated flight levels
# are guaranteed to be separated.
# Hence the definition of 100 feet is
# a nominal, not true, measure.
