Vector altitude for ILS below GS intercept altitude?

Probably not relevant at TPL, but are controllers allowed (or
required?) to assign altitiudes to VFR aircraft in Class B?

(I'd always assumed "yes" without giving it much thought.)


I often get vectors for practice BJC ILS29R approaches while VFR.
The vectors take me into DEN Class B. I'm invariably given altitudes
as well as headings, which I appreciate as I'm trying to practice IFR
proceures.

If you're in the Bravo airspace they WILL assign you an altitude or
expect that you keep the one you are on. I've been assigned "wrong way"
VFR altitudes while in the Bravo airspace to fit in with their plans.
Once you exit the Bravo you are expected to fly proper VFR altitudes for
your direction.

ATC can assign altitudes to VFR aircraft wherever separation is provided to
VFR aircraft; Class B airspace, Class C airspace and the associated outer
area, and TRSAs.

Once you exit Class B airspace ATC is supposed to tell you to resume
altitudes appropriate for the direction of flight.
