Model Interactions
Suggested Interaction ICAO 4
Transcript
The controller asked us to confirm that we were able to maintain FL 100 despite moderate turbulence. He also informed us that we were number four for landing.
Suggested Interaction ICAO 5

The controller asked whether we were able to maintain FL 100 despite the moderate turbulence and advised us that we were number four for landing. Since the turbulence was severe and we could not maintain the assigned flight level, we needed to clarify that limitation immediately.
