That is build in for VFR. VFR rules require contact with the ground
OR maintain 1000 feet above the cloud deck and fly VFR OVER the top
with your departure and destination being VFR for the flight to be
legal.


You don't always have to be 1000 feet over the cloud deck to be legal vfr.
If you are in class G airspace, clear of clouds is enough. You can be 1
foot above them if you want.


ABOVE them? In G class?
