Okay, but what terminology do you use to get the pilot to report
"completion"? Say there isn't a tower and you want to let the pilot
switch to the CTAF.

"Report completion of the approach, change to advisory freq approved."
Now I should have added that if the pilot never reports it doesn't shut
down the airport like if an IFR doesn't cancel. We are told to use our
best judgement. It's bureaucratic mumbo jumbo but that's the rules we
have to operate under.
