But, it applies to climbs in IMC that may require a level-off to avoid
entering
Class E without a clearance. As I said, lots of circumstances out west
where
you can do that, and it is often done. That what was I was trying to say,
but
you in your special way try to "trick it" just to be difficult.


In other words, your comments applied to a completely different situation
and you did not identify them as such. This guy was in VMC when he broke
out of the clouds. He was in uncontrolled airspace where VFR minimums are
just one mile visibility and clear of clouds. He can level off there and
not be in violation of FAR 91.177 because FAR 91.177 applies only to IFR
flights.
