'Climb and report level...'
If I am asked to climb and report level at the new altitude, the conversation usually goes...
ATC: 'G-ABCD, climb and report level FL50'
Me:'Climb and report level FL50, G-ABCD'.
...
Me:'G-ABCD level, FL50'
I was told off for this yesterday - apparently my last call should be 'G-ABCD maintaining FL50'. Is that right? (ditto for descents, I assume).
