"Paul Tomblin" wrote in message ... You can't do VFR OTP in class A? I didn't know that. I assumed that since it was still an IFR clearance, it was still valid. Not that flight level rules are likely to apply to me any time soon. FAA Order 7110.65P Air Traffic Control Chapter 7. Visual Section 1. General 7-1-1. CLASS A AIRSPACE RESTRICTIONS Do not apply visual separation or issue VFR or "VFR-on-top" clearances in Class A airspace. |

Uh....if you're between 18K and 60K in the US, then you are required to be on an IFR flight plan, hence only at even number altitudes. 33,500 is inappropriate. Actually, while in controlled airspace you are required to fly at the altitude assigned by ATC. The odd/even altitudes/levels is only when outside of controlled airspace. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane Sacramento, CA |

Above 18,000 feet, where the separation is 1000 feet and AFAIK, VFR operations are definitely NOT allowed? The example given was 33,500 feet...RVSM air space. Could you 'splain that one? -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W. Barrow Site-Fill Homes, LLC. Montrose, CO |

The example given was 33,500 feet...RVSM air space. Could you 'splain that one? Block altitude. "Maintain block FL 330 through FL 350". You can operate at any altitude within that block and have vertical separation from traffic at FL 320 and FL 360. |

Above 18,000 feet, where the separation is 1000 feet The separation is a minimum of 1000 feet, no reason I can't just give you more airspace. and AFAIK, VFR operations are definitely NOT allowed? The example given was 33,500 feet...RVSM air space. You won't be given an OTP clearance but then at 330 you wouldn't need that since you're hard pressed to find many clouds up there that aren't already thunderstorms. |
