Yes, this is an interesting point. Did they say "practice approach approved, maintain VFR", or did they
say "cleared for the approach"? If it's a practice approach in a VFR environment, it's not all that
unusual to get altitude restrictions, especially to keep you above the VFR traffic pattern, if they can't
work you in.

Hmmm, never got a practice approach approved.....

I have always received cleared for the "type of approach" approach when I
am doing approaches under VMC.

Maybe practice approach is a regional thing?
