Those can be PITA altitudes for us, generally FL230 is an altitude where sectors are split (high/low), flying right at that boundary altitude is a PITA, lots of traffic is climbing and descending through that altitude at far higher speeds.

It always seems that when you are working a PC12 it's in the way.

Huh... For a turboprop, I always thought it was fast (270 KTS). I guess it sucks when you also get a King Air, Meridian, TBM, or Lancair up there. I bet ATC loves it when I file for FL200 in my C182T when it trues out at 170-180!

BTW, what it PITA?
