Limiting rule: No flight through a thick (>4500 ft) cloud layer extending across the freezing level.

max-top 6388 m, mean 4385 m, 68% cover, freezing 4763 m · max cloud-top 6388 m above freezing 4763 m (68% cover in 10 nmi) · no GLM flashes within 25 nmi / 30 min, likely cirrus / stratiform ice rather than cumulus
