The Control Room Floor / Re: Visual Separation and You: Dos and Don'ts

It is possible to have a VFR-on-top or VFR clearance and be in the flight levels as the above rules have stated.  But again, it is not allowed in Class A airspace.  So where can I fly both VFR or VFR-on-top and be outside of Class A airspace?  Hawaii.

§71.33   Class A airspace areas.
(a) That airspace of the United States, including that airspace overlying the waters within 12 nautical miles of the coast of the 48 contiguous States, from 18,000 feet MSL to and including FL600 excluding the states of Alaska and Hawaii.

Thanks again, in the real world we always announced DeltaXXX leaving FL340 for FL240, just to ping ATC we were evacuating that altitude. I will start that again. Sometimes its very busy, or you just get MIKE fright! Also. on the intial call to Departure, announce your alt passing thru...

see ya
tom

Only if so cleared, though.  The vacating call is not required, but often greatly appreciated.

Althought not required by the AIM, it may be his company’s policy to announce all descents.  The accouncement serves as a check for atc.  As atc, I may have given him the wrong altitude or missed a read back that was wrong. So it gives me another opportunity to check the altitude assignment.

General Discussion / Again?

Looking at my ZFW admin panel on VATUSA, it appears a few guys have been moved out.  Did VATUSA get "hacked" again or was this a reset in the database?

Have a look.  Couldn't get audio to output on this export so we'll just have to deal with no music.  Had quite a bit of fun, a few moments of panic. Enjoy.
