Yes, this is an interesting point. Did they say "practice approach
approved,
maintain VFR", or did they say "cleared for the approach"? If it's a
practice
approach in a VFR environment, it's not all that unusual to get altitude
restrictions, especially to keep you above the VFR traffic pattern, if
they
can't work you in.


He said the clearance was "Cessna XXX, cross ELESE at 3,000, cleared
GPS 15 approach." Since 500 feet vertical separation was used the other
aircraft had to be VFR so we can conclude it was a practice approach in a
VFR environment.

If you are operating in VMC and practicing approaches you are operating on
IFR and VFR rules.


What VFR rules am I operating on if I'm practicing approaches on an IFR
clearance?
