Is there any problem with controllers or examiners if I cross a stepdown
fix
several hundred feet above the depicted altitude? I believe that,
legally,
I can be at any altitude above the crossing minimum, but would this be a
bust of the PTS +/-100 tolerance, or cause a problem for ATC?


Assuming ATC hasn't issued an altitude restriction it's not a problem for
them, it shouldn't be a problem for an examiner as you're not wavering from
an assigned altitude.
