One of the reasons why it is not required to report descending when you are
cleared for the visual approach is because it is quite plausible that you will be out of radio contact when you begin your descent. When the controller says "Cleared for the approach" not only is he assuring there are no airplanes on your intended course to the airport, but also he is transferring terrain avoidance responsibility solely to you, whereas previously he shared this responsibility with you. -- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com
