What are the advantages of vfr-on-top in the real world? I understand the
ifr to vfr-on-top then cancel, but what about other uses?


The main advantage is that it allows a pilot to choose his altitude at his
discretion, within broad limits, rather than request approval for every change
of altitude from ATC.


You can do that under VFR with even broader limits on altitude and the
additional advantage of altering your route at your discretion.


Thank you for this, Stephen. This completely backs up what I've
been saying.
