Thinking about Class A Airspace. Couple questions:
1. Is the only requirement to be on IFR flight plan?
2. If you are VFR having selected a cruising alt of 17.5 to get that perfect tail wind and you reach over to get your hot dog out of the bag and realize they left off the ketchup and rant a little and realize in the frustration that you are at 18050, is that on par with busting Bravo?
Is it worse?
Also, could a VFR pilot ever get cleared in by ATC if not on an IFR plan
I assume it would be rare for VFR pilots to fly that high anyway (maybe over mountains though
) but just curious about how that airspace is treated given it sort of gets glossed over in training as "Doesn't really apply"
