Flight Level

Flight VistaJet 793 popped up on my radar and well outside my normal range.
It appeared to be reporting flight level 49.

Not sure how unusual that is?

I rarely get traffic so far south west of my location, so beginning to suspect the flight level is indeed correct

Thoughts?

Well within Global7000 cruise. (~42-51)

Everything looks plausible (altitude, speed, location).
When in doubt, check with Hepburn

I see it pretty often that private jets are way above the typical altitude of common flights.

It looks like a GL7T has a service ceiling of 51,000 ft. That would keep you well above 95+% of commercial traffic. Even initial cruise is above FL400.
