Not sure how many aircraft I've ever heard make that report, in the flight levels anyway.
But I'm not sure if I care that much to notice.
Not really sure though how that factors into pilots KNOWING HOW TO DO THEIR FRIGGIN' JOB.
Can't climb? Simply tell ATC you can't climb. What are they gonna do? Violate you because you complied with FAR's on a mandatory report?
