Denmark - VFR on top
VFR on top is permitted according to national Danish legislation on the following condititions:
VMC forecasted on the planned route/altitude; destination forecast with min vis 5 km and no cloud layer denser than 4/8 (ETA +/÷ 1 hr). Fuel reserve requirements similar to IFR: alternate + 45 min.
This minimises the risk of ending up flying in IMC.
The pilot is required to have logged at least 150 hrs, and the aircraft has to be IFR equipped.
This ensures some probability of succes should IMC be encountered accidentally. But there is no specific training or skill requirements for the pilot to exercise the right to fly VFR on top.
