The CAA are sometimes prone to coming up with good idea... Admittedly I cant think of one now, but they sometimes do astound... Howver
This is a pile of Horlicks... No way will this work in the London TMA. Whatever happened to the instruction climb. What exactly does this mean?? It means climb! Pure and simple. Just because a few germans (air berlin, germanwings) tend to ask is it unrestricted! Well if they wanna ask, a simple affirm often fixes it. And to be honest, if i'm too busy to respond, I sort out all my other problems then go back to the unrestricted question! The german guys will soon climb when the wander over CLN at 4000ft, instead of FL110...
What will they come up with next? Cup of starbucks for the funniest answer...
Oh and ps... why do lufthansa pilots not do it?? Most other german companies do...
