Being based in Bristol too I have definately seen the advantages of the new Sids/Stars. As many people say, shame about taxiway golf and the Western apron parking, but there we go... Just out of interest, multiple times I have been asked when getting airborne to confirm my "passing level". Since we are climbing to an altitude I do believe that the word "level" could lead people to believe they are actually cleared to a flight level instead of an altitude. With significant deviations from the standard pressure setting this could easily lead to a level bust where seperation from inbound traffic could be reduced quite easily. So just wondering if it shouldn`t be "confirm passing altitude" so people don`t get trapped into thinking they have to be on standard.
