This has to do with directing planes from a control tower.
"The [plane] kam in einem anderen Level und dann habe ich sie hochgelassen".
Most of the text is written in a strange or informal way - there's a big difference between letting the plane stay at a certain altitude and letting it go up, so I wanted to make sure.

let go up, allow to climb
"Hoch" implicates a direction here. If the plane had stayed at a certain altitude it should have been described as "oben gelassen".
This interpretation is supported by the words "und dann": first the plane came at a certain altitude AND THEN it was allowed to climb.
However, I'm not quite sure about the technical terms used at a control tower but maybe someone can confirm it (or come up with the correct expression).

Well, I was sure about the meaning but not about the correct term in English - I only translate into German. :-)

Comment: "Thanks - I'm getting the drift that you're right. That's why I don't translate from English into German - I'll never get the fine points of a native German speaker."
