Flight Level and a half

AIM 6-4-1

1. General. Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, each pilot who has two-way
radio communications failure when operating under IFR shall comply with the
rules of this section.

2. VFR conditions. If the failure occurs in VFR conditions, or if VFR
conditions are encountered after the failure, each pilot shall continue the
flight under VFR and land as soon as practicable.

NOTE-
This procedure also applies when two-way radio failure occurs while
operating in Class A airspace.

So where in the FAR' is there authorization for VFR ops above FL180?


There isn't any. The FARs tend to prohibit things, not authorize them.

So you're saying one could operate VFR at FL330?


Sure, as long as you're not in Class A airspace.
