What if you're just a couple of miles from the field but haven't
reported it in sight?

Surely I hope you are not talking from experience on this scenario???


Why?



If so, what exactly did happen?


It hasn't happened with me, it will inevitably happen where controllers
do not terminate flight following until pilots report the field in
sight.



On a *clear* day where visibility is above marginal VFR, couple miles from
the airport, I am betting what you are describing is a very, very and very
rare occurance.


How much are you willing to bet?



And would your workload permit VFR flight following on days where MVFR and
IFR traffic are intermingling?


Yes.



What you describe above would **almost** sound like an emergency situation
for a lost pilot and nothing near the norm???


Why is that?
