You watch me closer and provide REQUIRED separation when I am VFR on top. *You can't drop me when I am VFR on top as it's still IFR. Correction to the above thinking this through. *Separation would be VFR rules. *Duh, hence VFR on top. *The rest still stands. VFR on top is an IFR clearance and ATC cannot drop me until they hear those magic words cancel IFR. *That is the benefit of VFR on top. That's just swell, peachy even. But the issue ain't flight following vs. VFR-on-top, it's IFR to VFR-on-top then cancel vs. IFR to VFR then cancel. Why request VFR-on-top to punch through a cloud deck if you intend to cancel IFR upon reaching VFR conditions? |
