I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

There have been questions about the rate of climb shown in the transcript to be 'wrong'.

Bad as the double translated transcript is I believe it shows a normal climb departure with an initial clearance to FL180, a further clearance to FL250, and a final clearance to FL350. In each case the revised clearance being issued before the aircraft had reached the cleared level. As a continuous climb to FL350 in 19 minutes it looks perfectly normal.
