Over 10 times in one shift !
Kick the tyres,
I tell you no lie that in one shift,at least 10 pilots reported climbing to 6000ft instead of FL60 ! I'm just hoping that Brum aircrews will read this thread and think to themselves:
a) I never do that, I know its FL60 and always state that, or;
b) Yeah its a fair cop guv, i've made that mistake but I will be more aware of it now, or;
c) I'm not really sure what i say but now I know that there is an issue with it !
The issue here is not "hey you guys, get it right" but rather "there's a potential safety issue here, so lets ALL remain aware"
The link just illustrates how close an aircraft could have got on that day if it really was climbing to 6000ft, AND, if I had missed the initial cleared level. Lets remember that all incidents are normally a catalogue of events and not just one factor.
Cheers Folks
