We start our flight levels at FL180 and don't have much in the way of altitude busts which are due to the transition...

Think it has already been covered - but just to clarify - if you are below FL040 when you call us on radar on departure from Brum, we will see your readout on the radar as an altitude, therefore we canot accept "passing flight level 35" as a level that we cn validate and verift - hence you will sometimes get " report your passing level" as a response - by which time of course you will be passing a FL!!! we cannot win!!! some of us will just wait a few sweeps of the screen and ask for your level again,
Hope this clears things up - thanks for the info - much appreciated, can i remind everyone who flies in and out of Brum on a regular basis to also check out www.egbb.co.uk - its out own web site which also has discussion board for pilots and ATC at BRUM about local issues!!!

Is there any reason other than "thats the way we have always done it" for some SIDS to end in altitudes and others in FL's?. They seem quite keen on FL's on the continent (AMS, CDG, BRU) but most UK airfield are altitude except for the few cases mentioned, is it perhaps to do with interaction of other local airspace?.

Max,
In many cases yes, every airport has it's own unique problems SID wise. Either interaction with other SIDS/other Airport traffic, Inbound streams, Holds, etc etc. In addition the base of controlled airspace, and TA provides issues at others.....
Scott,
I operate your side of the pond reasonably regularly, and fully agree with your comment/observation.
Not much hope of change here though - the cogs move oh so slow despite many people campaigning for what you suggest.... Here in the UK we can't even get a common TA across our small island - pretty poor really!!
