Post subject:  ask 4 a new Fl= no more climb/descend instructions
I'm stuck. I have been searching the forums for a solution but nothing seems to help.if I ask for a new/different flight level pfe gets stuck and i don't get anymore climb/descent instructions.I need to descend on my own and ask for vectors after the last waypoint.

Any of you experienced this ?

Any inf/help appreciated

If you ask for a new FL you would not expect to get any further climb instructions. If you're not getting any descent instructions please send me the log. We have another user experiencing the same and I'm trying to fathom out what might be causing the issue. I'm sure it must be procedural because the code hasn't changed in over two years and we've never had this reported before to my knowledge

Yes I would ? Let me try to explain with an example. Let's pretend I need to fly from a to b and my planned cruise level is 35000.now after takeoff atc clears me for 13000.On my way up when I am say at 9000 I decide that I better ask for a new fl level because of the weather or whatever else.So i ask for 17000 which I get.After that I would expect atc to tell me when and if to climb from 17000 to 35000.But ATC does *not* give me *any* climb/descent instruction. Nada Zero.This an example but it does happen all the time here.

Hello
Have you tried contacting control on your way up past 14500, normally departure will hand you off to control at this altitude, perhaps try checking in with control when you get to 17000, they may pick you up again from that point.
I will give your example a go and see what happens here.
