A system and method of controlling turbine blade tip-to-static structure clearance in a gas turbine engine includes processing aircraft data to determine when the aircraft is flying at altitude cruise conditions. When the aircraft is not flying at altitude cruise conditions, then compressor discharge air is directed to impinge upon at least a portion of the turbine shroud. Upon determining that the aircraft is flying at altitude cruise conditions, the compressor discharge air is directed to flow across at least a portion of the turbine case and to impinge upon at least a portion of the turbine shroud.
