Is it real that you get an altitude warning, restatement of your expected altitude and 5 ( mabe a little longer, but seems like 5 ) seconds later if your not responding you get another ..busted altitude message.. etc..I would think this process should take maybe at least 2 or 3 minutes for a controller to even notice.What is is like in real life.. ( even though I doubt it occurs in life like I do it in the sim :-) )?

probably some bad timing. the best advice, is don't reply to the climb clearance, until you are ready or actually climbing.if you have pilot autoreply on, turn it off.and i'm assuming that your altimeter is set correctly. are you flying in the US or abroad?jd

Actually I was doing a missed approach, punched the Missed Approach button in the FMS and away I went as I passed 5K I got the busted altitude message.. while I was trying to cancel the FMS stuff..I was just wondering how close such a thing would be monitored in real life... no biggie..
