That's a bloody joke and all.
The same pilot may find himself on the same day flying out of sensible-safe Britain, into Maniana Country where Manuel may say things like: Monar 205, Cleared to fly-level 080 heading 005.
Couple of minutes later descend to fi-tousand fi-undred and so on.
No use the CAA working single handedly in a "unified" Europe. It means nothing to us. What about countries with 3 hours flight time from here who are still using altitude in meters, winds at m/s.
The whole lot is just a bloody joke, I can't take any of this job too seriously.
