Watch out for those european ROC/ROD instructions, I'm fairly sure the controllers are not type-rated on your aeroplane.
Remember a DC 10 stalling a some years ago in blind obedience?
Try a couple of questions;-
---Where do want me level by?......or similar.
---Where's the traffic?....well if your busting a gut and burning gas it would be nice to know why, wouldn't it.......and it really gets up a controller's nose because he's thinking "It's my job to control the traffic".....and you would be equally right to think "It's MY job to fly the aeroplane".
