Nagging :)

HI, when taking off from EKGG on rwy 26L and SID BOGN1X there's a lot of waypoints following with altitude restrictions. When getting clearance my initial FL is 130. Final is FL330.

In the Pilot2ATC flightplan you can see the restrictions are 5-6000 ft all the way out to the English channel and 7 NM after BOGNA you can climb to your initial flightlevel.

BUT - the ATC is nagging all the way from take off until I reach BOGNA that I should climb to FL130. Over and over again. It's annoying to say the least when the flight plan shows 6000 ft. The ATC should pause and wait in these cases. Almost every SID in southern England have these restrictions.

Thank you,

Please email the P2A log file for one of these flights to admin@p2atc.com so I can try and fix the problem.

Forgot to mention that there is a new option to "Ignore SID Altitude Restrictions".  If that option is checked, then the behavior you describe is correct.  You would fly the SID ground track, but ignore the SID Altitude Restrictions.

Thanks for swift answer. I will use the option "Ignore SID Altitude Restrictions". An easy and convienent solution.

I'm sending the log anyway.

Hmmm...
I just checked the settings in Pilot2ATC and "Ignore SID Altitude Restrictions" was set before mentioned flight above! 
Does it mean I can fly the restrictions but the ATC will continue asking me to climb to initial FL? A bit confusing. Shouldn't ATC just say nothing? Or confirm the restrictions?

If the option is checked, then you are expected to ignore the at/below restrictions and climb as cleared and will be "nagged" if you stop climbing. 

If the option is unchecked, you will be expected to comply with the restrictions and will be "nagged" if you climb above a restricted altitude too early.
