Controller Hand-off "Maintain FLxxx"

Recommended Posts

When reporting to new ATC controller while already established at cruise altitude, the new controller directs pilot to maintain the flight level already established and reported.

For example:

 

P2A: Wizard One Golf Mike Contact NEW YORK Center on One Three Three Point Three Five have a nice day 

Pilot: Center on One Three Three Point Three Five Wizard One Golf Mike

(Freq Change)

Pilot: Wizard One Golf Mike With you at Flight Level Three Seven Zero

P2A: Wizard One Golf Mike  good evening .  Radar Contact.   Maintain Flight Level Three Seven Zero

Pilot: Maintain Flight Level Three Seven Zero Wizard One Golf Mike

 

This additional communication is not realistic and did not happen in earlier versions of P2A... not sure where it got introduced.

And, yes, if anybody asks, I'm on 29.92 STD barometer.

...and this artifact is happening randomly.  Without any detected difference in speech recognition or anything else, sometimes I'm asked to "Maintain Flight Level xxx", and other times a simple "Radar Contact" is given.
