Hey anyone working Potomac around BWI?
Anyhow, climbing out on the ol Terpz going through 3600ft, about to level at 4000 as per the clearance, I called at and stated XXY leveling at 4000 on the terpz. The controller came back and asked what altitude I was at, it was now 3900 ft. and I said leveling 4000. He said - he had to know within 300 ft of what altitude I was at so I said 3910 ft leveling at 4000. His scope was about 5 seconds behind my actual altitude at that point. And we rarely ever level at 4000, so I was trying to get higher. Thats beside the point, Ive never had a controller come back and say I had to say 3.7 for 4000 or something. Usually if I was literally in ALT capture and the plane was pitching over for the altitude I would just state leveling at whatever... this guy wasn't having it today. Whats up with that?
