Note: In the UK and in most of Europe the instruction to climb to a Flight Level omits the word ‘to’. For example, ‘FASTAIR 1234 CLIMB FLIGHT LEVEL 280’. The syllabus, however, calls for ICAO standards and, as this is not an ICAO convention, you may find exam questions where all the answers use the word ‘to’. For example ‘FASTAIR 12134 CLIMB TO FLIGHT LEVEL 280’.
