Correct. I am sure you know clearance for an approach is NOT a clearance to land. I don't see anything in the above that says I am allowed to land (hence the light signals). No light signals, no clearance to land. I better be squawking 7700 if I plan to land without a LANDING clearance. The above pertains to enroute and approach clearances. I beg to differ with you. When operating under 91.185 you don't have an approach clearance any more than you have a landing clearance. Lets go this route. The system has built in a communication way for getting a clearance to land via light gun? What makes you think that 91.185 would trump the clearance to land procedures? I realize this is more theoretical talk as in the real world, ATC will move traffic to get us in safely and it's a matter of "semantics" but in the theory world, what you gave as reference pertains to enroute operations (center and approaches), not tower operations (landing) I hit send too fast! Landing is a VFR operation, not a IFR operation. You would be visual from DH to wheels down so I really don't think 91.185 applies. Oh good grief! If you break out of the clouds at DA and proceed to land visually, do you really believe you're flying under VFR? Why don't you think 91.185 applies once you break out of the clouds? Did you cancel your IFR clearance at that point? If not, aren't you still flying by IFR? -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane, USUA Ultralight Pilot Cal Aggie Flying Farmers Sacramento, CA |
