Cupar?
Coo! Only 20 miles from Leuchars. Is that still occupied by the RAF? Were there any Bears about at Christmas?
Looks like the route included ERAKA where you would join airway UP58 to FINDO which is more less "Cupar". That ties in with onward routing via UM982 through lovely St Abbs beacon to ROKAN after which the muggers buddle for EHAM begins in earnest. So nothing stands out of the ordinary except activity near Leuchars perhaps
A "brisk" descent into Amsterdam with no delays would be 142 nautical miles from 41000 feet in 24 minutes in an A330-class aircraft.
Now only joking, my offsider who is a well-known wag says ATC asked "Why are you flying at 40000ft???". There then followed an expletive and normal service resumed at 39000ft. Only joking....
