On initial contact, Tower says "Cessna '1GS, runwy 12R, cleared to land."

Do you still have to cross ROYCE at 2,000 or can you head for the numbers
and come on down?


Not enough information. Were you tracking the ILS when the visual approach
was issued? Or were you approaching the airport from another direction?

In any case, I would have asked approach for clarification before switching
over to tower if I were NOT tracking the ILS already.
