Oh, of course you owned the airspace then.
With no radar around the Greek rocks it was just us & the birds. No big brother watching inside or outside. And no, it was't cowboy. Place & time.
Surely a CDA as the norm, from CRZ, is a more satisfying achievement than just stepping it down. It is a finessing of the profile and it is certainly more comfortable down the back. You start a quite descent from CRZ and the next thing is a gentle bump on the runway with very little disturbance. Apllause.
