A question to HKG ATC . . . . dudes
The STAR charts indicate to PLAN to cross melon at 130/150 etc. A recent note to crew at dragginair states that if you are REQUIRED to cross melon at a partiular height, ATC will make such a requirment.
Therefore, what does it mean to plan for 130 at melon. We give it a shot but if we cross melon 20000' high its ok cos did our best?
What does PLAN mean if we havnt been given a REQUIRMENT.
