I think I read this section before; this paragraph sounds familiar. I
always get instructions to "maintain," though. What's the phraseology
when I get a block of altitudes? Or does it even happen with
frequency in real life? How do I request it (or do I even need to
request it)?
From a flight today, west of Billings, MT:
N12345: Unable to maintain 16,000 for turbulence.
ATC: N12345 maintain between 14,000 and 16,000
Yep, we had severe and extreme turbulence pireps near the mountains
today. Bad day to fly anywhere but east from here.
