In much the same way that flying VFR over a layer of clouds is VFR on
top,
no matter how much the pack howls.


From the Pilot/Controller Glossary:

The FAA defines the piece of paper in my pocket as a certificate.

The FAA defines flight over a layer by a VFR Aircraft as VFR-OVER-THE-TOP.

The FAA does not define flight over a layer by a VFR aircraft as VFR-ON-TOP

The FAA does not define the piece of paper in my pocket at a license.
