Happens very often that Vienna make us approval request to leave westbound traffic (southbound for us) at even level (standard for them, not for us).
Very often this is a very good thing for us because travelling non standard on even levels... you automatically avoid all southbound traffc coming at odd levels from Munich Area.
The distance between the incriminated airway and Munich area is about 2/3 minutes of flight. You can understand that is better let you fly at non standard level... that making separation by 2 minutes from the Closest Point of Approach!! ;P
Approaching my boundary I'll kindly request you if you prefer climbing or descending by 1000ft due to your direction of flight...!
But I mean... when I say "identified"... who cares of everything else? You're under radar control!
OT: (same thing when pilots call "approaching level": I KNOW IT! YOU'RE UNDER RADAR CONTROL! IT MEANS THAT I READ IT ON MY RADAR TOO!!!)
