VFR on top

You have to be VMC to be VFR on top.
So if you were IMC at 6000, VFR on top was not an option.

Now if you meant, you were IFR in VMC at 6000, and wanted higher
and could maintaint VFR conditions, then yes, that would of been fine.

Where I used it was in the following situation. 3000 OVC at takeoff,
tops
5000. Same at destination.
But the MEA was 11k or so. Ill fly VFR on top at 8k and never leave the
system

Interesting.
I was in IMC at 6000. Asked for higher response "unable"
Next controller same response and so it went for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Then I
saw a hole and it looked pretty good at 3000. I ask the controller for a
desent
and cancelled IFR.
I should have ask for VFR on top 2 hours ago, but it have been denied?
