Mr. Declan Fitzpatrick:
No. We should remember that the idea of the SID is to try to ensure the separation of aircraft, to deconflict. In some cases a SID might say, climb to 3,000 ft and level off because, for example, the aim might be to keep the aircraft below another track above it. No, there is not a precondition for continuous climb operations.
