Narrative:
Controller cleared the flight direct to tiffy to maintain 7000 ft. We were at 8000 ft at that time. Clearance was then received for a visual approach to runway 25L to cross tiffy at 8000 ft then descend to 7000 ft. The incorrect hearback to cross tiffy at 8000 ft was a result, I believe, of the late clearance for the approach to runway 25L and setting up for that, when runway 25R was anticipated. No traffic conflict was involved. Operations were normal.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ASSIGNMENT OF AN UNEXPECTED RWY FOR LNDG IS BLAMED FOR AN IMPROPER HEARBACK RESULTING IN NON COMPLIANCE WITH AN ALT CLRNC AND SUBSEQUENT RECLRNC BY ATC.
Narrative: CTLR CLRED THE FLT DIRECT TO TIFFY TO MAINTAIN 7000 FT. WE WERE AT 8000 FT AT THAT TIME. CLRNC WAS THEN RECEIVED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 25L TO CROSS TIFFY AT 8000 FT THEN DSND TO 7000 FT. THE INCORRECT HEARBACK TO CROSS TIFFY AT 8000 FT WAS A RESULT, I BELIEVE, OF THE LATE CLRNC FOR THE APCH TO RWY 25L AND SETTING UP FOR THAT, WHEN RWY 25R WAS ANTICIPATED. NO TFC CONFLICT WAS INVOLVED. OPS WERE NORMAL.
