No Handbags from either me nor Pilot Mike, BOAC - just keen to get the correct message across.
Having read my posts on this subject (to make sure I was not giving bad info), I stand by them. I clearly state when I am talking about procedures as they are today, and I clearly state that I think the new procedures are flawed.
Furthermore, I clearly state that I believe conditional climbs are dangerous,which is why none of my colleagues that I have spoken to, would use this new procedure - whicj amounts to basically hoping that the pilot understood I meant climb after the SID ends.
I cannot see any benefit for a climb instruction in the LTMA that takes effect after the SID restrictions. In the LTMA (like most other places I would hazard a guess), climb means do it now, without the restrictions (unless they have been re-iterated).
However, as BOAC has stated, common sense has prevailed, lets just hope it stays that way!
