that sounds about right; as I said, he got a VFR departure clearance to an initial altitude of 8000

from my long-ago days at Boeing Flight Test (and even longer-ago FAA ground school), I know that any flight plan at or above 18000 *has to be* IFR, but I believe pilots *can* file IFR for lower altitudes; that said, though, I have no idea of any specific language that pertains to transitioning from a VFR departure to IFR enroute
