Suggested Interaction ICAO 5
Transcript
The controller instructed us to squawk 7700 and said he understood that we needed to return to Bogota immediately. He then told us to descend to 15,000 ft, proceed direct to Bogota VOR, and advised that we could expect to land in 10 minutes. Since our intention was to hold for 20 minutes to burn fuel before landing, we needed to clarify that point.
