Silly controller
Christopher C. Stacy wrote: The instruction "Cleared for the ILS runway 23 at Foobar maintain 2000 until established" contains "cleared", a route (which is even a charted IFR procedure), an altitude, and a clearance limit (landing Foobar airport, or executing the published missed approach procedure). How is that not an IFR clearance? It's not. I think it is, unless the controller adds the words "maintain VFR". When I want a practice approach and the controller fails to say "VFR", I add it back in to try and make sure, like: "Cherokee 97R cleared for the ILS 29 maintain VFR". Not necessary. If you are doing a whole series of practice approaches the controller needs to tell you one time to maintain VFR. Not one time per approach, just one time.
