Cancelling IFR in Bravo airspace

The typical kee-jerk response is to "please the controller" and report on top when just breaking out in the clear. You're on top when you're in conditions suitable for VFR flight. You're not on top when you break out into the sunshine, you have to be at least 1000 feet above that cloud. My point exactly. |

Cancelling IFR in Bravo airspace

After breaking out of the clouds and advising ATC of the bases and tops, I usually cancel IFR and proceed "own nav" with flight following. Which brings me to my question, if I cancel inside Bravo airspace do I have an implicit clearance because I got there under IFR in the first place, or is it common practice for ATC to give an explicit clearance? I ask because I'm a new instrument rated pilot and I'm pretty sure both scenarios have happened to me recently. Thanks in advance. You have no idea of what ATC needs to do with you if you cancel on an IFR climnb to on-top. So, keep it simple, and stay with the IFR clearance until either above or otherwise clear of the Class B airspace. Hogwash. Cancelling IFR only makes ATC's life easier. Less separation is required. You do not need to prenegotiate....."Ah, approach, I'll cancel if you give me clearance out of the class B." |

Now because you have been caught making a mistake, you must try to twist the discussion around to obfuscate the fact. I believe I said I might have lost track of the thread. This might be because no one believed it...a controller...lost track? Doesn't say a lot about competency. Regards, BobF. |
