VFR On Top: What the hell for?
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but could somebody please explain why an IFR pilot would want to use the VFR On Top procedure?
It wouldn't be so he could get a closer look at the aircraft going opposite direction at an IFR level? Perhaps he wants to hear what the TCAS sounds like?? Camera shot, perhaps??? Moon maybe???? Show 'em the birdie maybe????? Scare the Christ out of the other crew maybe?????? Cloud skimming, maybe???????
