If an altitude is assigned, including at orabove/below altitudes, the altitude specified mustmeet MVA, minimum safe altitude, or minimum IFRaltitude criteria.REFERENCE−FAAO 7110.65, Altitude Assignments, Para 7−7−5.5. All VFR aircraft shall be instructed tomaintain VFR on initial contact or as soon as possiblethereafter.NOTE−This advisory is intended to remind the pilot that eventhough ATC is providing IFR-type instructions, the pilot isresponsible for compliance with the applicable parts of theCFR governing VFR flight.b.
