Why would someone choose to fly VFR on top?

Perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought the VOR not near the destination airport. If a clearance is to an airport, I understand the "pick an approach" ...um... approach. But it's when the clearance limit is to a waypoint that's not an airport (ie. some VOR somewhere) that leaves me puzzled. Recall that there's no specification within "the system" as to the final destination in that case. Well, you shouldn't accept a clearance limit without an EFC. And you have your flight plan, so you fly to the clearance limit, hold until your EFC and then proceed per your flight plan and fly an approach. At least that is what I'd do. Matt |

Every IFR clearance has a clearance limit, an EFC is issued only if holding is anticipated. |

Canada makes the same distinction.

OK, but I was taught to always ask for an EFC if given a clearance limit that wasn't an airport. Matt |

As a related question, does the USA permit a plain PPL holder (no IR) to fly above an overcast layer? yes. (might or might not be a good idea, depending on your point of view; there are a few other things that are legal and might not be a good idea either, but I really like making my decisions for myself) --Sylvain |
