You're on top when you're in conditions suitable for VFR flight. You're not
on top when you break out into the sunshine, you have to be at least 1000
feet above that cloud.



1000' above the cloud? As I understand the cloud clearance requirements,
in Class B airspace you just need to be clear of clouds (yes, this topic
is about flight within Class B airspace).
