You contact ATC and request a climb to 9,000 feet, but they are unable to give it to you. You then request a “VFR-on-Top” clearance to 7,500 feet which is granted. When you accept this clearance, your IFR clearance is

Answer 1

still in effect.

Ice/VFR-on-Top: CL STILL IN EFFECT

Question 2

What effect will a change in wind direction have upon maintaining 3* glide slope at a constant true airspeed?

Answer 2

When ground speed increases, rate of descent must increase.

Maintaining 3* Glide: GS INCREASE; Descent INCREASE

Question 3
