Naw, I was speaking about the part that you videod, it appeared that you
were clipping the tops when there was clearance only a few feet above.
Were you "in between" at 6000 A or what am I missing?


I gotchya. Yes, I could have climbed a few feet to clear the clouds,
but since I was on an IFR flight, I don't deviate from my assigned
altitude. I was at 6000 when I was clipping the cloud tops

If it means clipping or entering a cloud, that was why I tortured
myself getting that IA rating. Plus, while in cruise, I had hands off
flying so why change a stable as a table plane to climb a few feet to
avoid some clouds.


OK, what I thought.
