VFR and IFR.
When can a VFR-On-Top clearance be assigned by ATC?
Only upon request of the pilot when conditions are indicated to be suitable.
When on a VFR-On-Top clearance, the cruising altitude is based on
magnetic course.
In which airspace is VFR-On-Top operation prohibited?
Class A airspace.
What cruising altitude is appropriate for VFR on Top on a westbound flight below 18,000 feet?
Even thousand-foot levels plus 500 feet, but not below MEA.
What reports are required of a flight operating on an IFR clearance specifying VFR on Top in a nonradar environment?
The same reports that are required for any IFR flight.
What minimums must be considered in selecting an altitude when operating with a VFR-On-Top clearance?
Minimum IFR altitude, minimum distance form clouds, and visibility appropriate to altitude selected.
When operating under IFR with a VFR-On-Top clearance, what altitude should be maintained?
A VFR cruising altitude appropriate to the magnetic course being flown and as restricted by ATC.
What altitude may a pilot on an IFR flight plan select upon receiving on VFR-On-Top clearance?
Any appropriate VFR altitude at or above the MEA in VFR weather conditions.
Under which of the following circumstances will ATC issue a VFR restriction to an IFR flight?
