'Climb When Instructed by Radar' and 'Request Level Change En Route' :
I seem to remember (but can't find the reference) that they made a difference to what happened if someone went radio fail.
I think one of them meant that they would climb straight to cruise level once past any restriction point (such as the end of a SID), and the other meant that they would try and leave CAS or stay at the initial cleared level.
Anybody able to put me right on that?
PS Another question for Scottish Controllers:
Why are some of you seemingly incapable of providing less than 15 miles between aircraft vectored southbound at FL310 on UN866? 5 is plenty!!
