bust altitude
hi,
many thanks to all your replies.
i am planning to call the facility and see what i can do.
i am very much aware that my bust could have caused a lot of problems, fortunately it did not, and i like to work on it that it does not happen to others. an appology on my side is not enough, considering how much damage i could have caused. what distracts me the most is that prior departure i asked my F/O to verify how he understands these altitudes, and somehow we both were misled to misinterpreting all of them.
i do only fly occasionally out of london airports, aware of difficult departure procedures, even more disturbing that i misread the SID this time.
i am also concerned about licence actions, it was my first bust since i started flying 11 years ago and would hate to see that my career goes downward.
cheers trot
