Question about level Clearances
Guys
Whats the story regarding the following ATC clearance which i was given on two separate occasions yesterday?
"Descend now FL190 and when ready descend FL120".
This caused some confusion,because we could have taken gentle descent to FL120 then which would have given us better speed in the descent and got us out of a 75kt headwind,but the initial clearance only cleared us to FL190.
In the end we just descended to FL190 and levelled off and before we could descend we had been cleared again to FL120.
