When *is* "time to switch"? Again, I had thought - by inferring from how
I've been handled - that it's time to switch when I actually have the field in sight. IMHO, It's time to switch when you're close enough in for a position report to be helpful to local traffic, and far enough out for there to be time to listen, to give it, and have an appropriate response (which you may or may not not hear). Three miles is probably too close, ten is probably not necessary. You can of course elect to terminate FF any time you want, especially if you are confident in finding the runway. You can always come back on freq. and ask for help. Jose -- "There are 3 secrets to the perfect landing.

If you have to go back on frequency to ask for help in finding an airport, I'd say you are way behind the airplane or less then VFR conditions. Allen |

I'd say you are way behind the airplane or less then VFR conditions. Maybe, and that's a time to ask for help. But maybe the airport is actually hard to spot. Many grass strips are like that, especially if unfamiliar, a little hazy, and not very prominent to begin with. Jose -- "There are 3 secrets to the perfect landing.
