Over + Out -As far as stepped climb is concerned it seems we are saying the same thing - the SID requirements are clear?
If someone says not above altitude 5,000' I would agree that is unambiguous.
In my view if someone says maintain 5,000' on a SID where you have to maintain 5,000' for part of it anyway (before continuing a climb) then that could be open to misinterpretation.
What I am hoping for is someone to quote me the part of an authoratative document that says maintain 5,000' is the official way a stepped climb should be cancelled (as part of the initial clearance on the ground) ?
