If he was IFR, ATC would have probably informed him there was traffic
in the pattern at his destination and might have tried to wait until
he had a visual before allowing him to change frequency.


If ATC was showing traffic at his destination he should have been
advised of that before frequency change, but the frequency change
shouldn't be delayed.



If ATC can show traffic at the destination. Where I fly, KELD Ft Worth
center can't see anything below 2000 feet. The Traffic pattern is half
that.


If ATC can't see the traffic, I can't imagine they would delay frequency
change, though...
