KKRANK, with regard to the 10000ft, 10500ft, FL105 calls, wouldn't the correct RT be the Altitude in ft until you are through FL110. The 1000ft between 10000ft and FL110 is a transition altitude and should be referred to in feet. Anything above FL110 would be referred to as a Flight Level.
And while we are on that last week i heard so many calls "maintaining Level XXX" what happened to the Flight bit at the front. When did FLXXX become LXXX? Just a minor point really anything to get a windup.
Reference the Leaving / Left call. The AIP states if you are within 200ft of the vacated Altitude / Flight Level it is a "leaving" call, if you are > than 200ft it becomes a "left" call. Once again just a minor point, but is it just me who gets tired of hearing slack RT.
"Sydney departures United 123 climbing 5000" What happened to the turning passing climbing heading etc?
Thats all I have to say about that.
