There are several specific instances in the .65 where it takes pains to
note that pilots adhere to FARs first and ATC second. Vectors and
altitude assignments to VFR aircraft are some that come to mind. The
notes aren't there to tell controllers not to issue the instructions; it's
there to tell controllers the pilot may not be able to comply.


There are many .65 rules that specifically instruct the controller to issue
an altitude assignment that is consistent with FAR XX.XX.
