what's happening Indian Atc??
This has happened twice now in two months,
Both times travelling north, north west,
While transiting via Colombo FIR, we were requested to climb to flight level 360... It wasn't the ideal time but as you know, sometimes it won't be offered again, so we grabbed the opportunity,
Approx 20 min later, in the chennai FIR we were instructed to descent back to fl level 340
It's happened twice now!!!
No coordination...
Your damned if you climb and damned if you don't!!!
We queried the poor coordination, but ofcourse no response except descent to level 340
It's lucky these days we don't fly into Dxb with min fuel
Any similar experiences
