I can accept that the FAA has defined in the nonregulatory AIM the
regulation for pilots to follow, as strange as that may sound. But I
cannot understand why Mr. McNicoll keeps saying 1000/3 is required for
ATC, when the ATC manual says VFR, and the only places I can find that
1000/3 exists is in the Pilot manual (AIM) or in a nonapplicable provision
of the FAR.


Mr. McNicoll never said1000/3 is required for ATC, he said VFR is required.
