I have just read the latest AIRAC,
H23/03
IFR OPERATIONS - CLASS E AIRSPACE VRF-ON-TOP / VFR CLIMB AND DESCENT
10 JUL 03
Now I am just a dumb pilot, but I cannot thank of ANY reason where an IFR aircraft would like to cruise VFR-on-top in lieu of an assisgned level and do so at a VFR level! Please explain!!
On the VFR climb and descent, what safety case has been done on this one, any number of aircraft can do this procedure at the same airport at the same time, so the question has to be asked: "Why have class E airspace at all?"
