However, if I am not mistaken, the UK has an exception to this requirement, hence your question? By the way, this is also why UK SID´s have a note stating that on initial contact with dep.ctrl to state passing altitude+ cleared altitude (again as this is normally not done in the UK).
Rgds,
That’s true. We have that exemption which is why I wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly in the US. I got told off climbing out of a US airfield on my third handover for not stating the passing level. Looks as if I should be doing it all the way up to cruising altitude in the US.
Thanks everyone for the info.
