Someone named "Peter R." gave an interpretation of a section of the AIM;
4-4-10. IFR SEPARATION STANDARDS
I posted the text of that section; if you want to call that bringing
something up, be my guest. You're only looking for an argument anyway.
I said I was a professional writer; I in no way implied that you were a
competent reader.

VFR-on-top:
[Description snipped]
I know what VFR-on-top is. It's nice to see you know too. But so what?
We
aren't talking about "VFR-on-top" (well, we weren't until YOU brought it
up).
A pilot flying VFR is required to observe "see and avoid". One pilot
observing "see and avoid" and taking appropriate evasive action can
avoid
a
collision.
One day, when you've got a few more hours, you'll realize that you had
better not trust the other guy to do your "see and avoid" for you.
If a VFR pilot is climbing/descending, it is his responsibility to avoid
pilots above him or below him.
The IFR pilot cruising at 6000' is ALSO responsible for avoiding pilots
climbing or descending through his altitude.
A pilot flying IFR under VMC who is not observing "see and avoid" is not
a
very smart pilot.
I agree. But if you feel that way, what is the point to all of your other
"contribution" to this thread?
For a professional writer, you sure seem to be having a big problem
getting
your point across (whatever it happens to be).
Pete
