ifr proceduresFAA-published sample question (IRA, Aug 2021)
ATC has approved your request for VFR-on-top while on an IFR clearance. Therefore, you
A
should set your transponder to code 1200.
B
must fly appropriate IFR altitudes.
C
must fly appropriate VFR altitudes.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
On a VFR-on-top clearance you remain on an IFR flight plan but must fly at the appropriate VFR cruising altitude of 14 CFR 91.159, observe VFR visibility and cloud clearance, and still comply with applicable IFR rules (AIM 4-4-8). IFR altitudes do not apply, and you keep your assigned transponder code rather than squawking 1200 because you are still an IFR flight.
