I think they don't have mountains in Europe.


I know they do.

For what its worth, the correct response was "affirm" not "affirmative".
Extra brownie points for that.

If you like nitpicking: ATC should never tell you to "climb to FL 150".
The correct phrase is "climb FL 150".

But they're all squashed together. My Swiss flying instructor said,
comparing mountains in the Western US to Switzerland's Alps, "The
amplitude is the same, but in your country, the period is longer."

"Naked" means you ain't got no clothes on; "nekkid" means you ain't got
no clothes on - and are up to somethin'.

Imagine a truck driving against you on the
wrong side of the road. "Oh, supposedly
the driver is British, so he's used to drive
on the left side of the road. No big deal."

Does it really matter? Are you going to stay in your lane, comfortable in
your knowledge that you "have the right-of-way"?

What nations are you referring to? In the US the correct phrase is "climb
and maintain".

You only need to hit one mountain and of course they are spread out over 5
countries
