An even number of hundreds of feet is reserved for IFR flights (5,000 or
6,000). VFR flights must be +500 (5,500 or 6,000). If you see someone
breaking the rules by flying VFR at 6,000 feet you should report them; it's
your safety that's at stake.

This is not a matter of winning an losing, it's a matter of learning the
rules and assuring everyone's safety.

And it's not a matter of aviation experience or the lack thereof. Very few
ATC controllers actually know how to fly. But we all read the same AIM, and
while it can sometimes be confusing, if you look at things in the larger
context you can usually make sense out of it. And if that fails, you can
always phone or email your local FSDO with any questions (which I frequently
do), I've always gotten very prompt answers.

As far as my "talent to post with such authority and conviction" goes, I've
been a professional writer most of my life; that's the way professional
writers write. But just because I write with "authority and conviction"
doesn't mean I'm always right. And I've been married and divorced four
times; I had more arguments than any man needs. I'm certainly not looking
for another. I'm here to learn and contribute what I can; that's all.

6,000 feet guarantees an IFR flight plan? Really? You had better
notify the FAA about all those VFR pilots who fly around Denver, CO.

You introduced the passage and misinterpreted it. I provided a correct
interpretation.

OK, Bill, you win. Your string of non sequiturs throughout this portion
of the thread has worn me out. I have no idea what passage you think I
introduced, as in reality I didn't introduce any passage in this thread,
but nonetheless, you win. I didn't think you were a troll, since you
are a regular in this and other aviation forums, but your self-admitted
lack of any real aviation experience combined with your talent to post
with such authority and conviction now make me wonder.
