I had one "descent immediately" encounter in my career, that was 2009 in Poland. I complied and did a 1500fpm dive and then asked why? The answer was "not you, the other German airplane, sorry, climb to FL100". I think by now they are able to handle more than on German registered aircraft in their airspace :)
Are you saying that in 2009
you performed an emergency "dive"
after being instructed to do so
by a Polish air traffic controller
who referred to you not by your call-sign
but simply as "the German aircraft" ?!
No, he used my callsign but he had two D-Exxx in his sector and incorrectly addressed me instead of the other who was busting some airspace. Humans err and it was quite funny actually. Usually I'm the one making mistakes...
Peter, next time you can try: "Unable, peeing in a bottle right now".
Great piece of advice Achim. In my case I will add my age (55+) and that should buy me at least 15 minutes of peace and quiet from ATC. Well, only if the controller is my age..
