In my experience, it is unusual for an aircraft to cancel IFR when arriving at a towered field. Does that happen frequently at your field? Now, if the tower was expecting an easterly departure, and the aircraft proceeds west according to the ODP, then what? If the a/c is departing IFR, with no particular alternate departure instructions, the tower should expect that the aircraft will fly the ODP. Again, if the tower is NOT expecting the IFR departure to fly the ODP, then they need proper training. In any event, I would expect that the tower would clear arriving VFR aircraft to enter the pattern in such a way as to not conflict with departing traffic. At towered airports where I have operated, in a situation similar to what you are now describing, the tower will usually issue advisories to both aircraft. It sure has not been unusual for me to depart an airport in VMC and have traffic arriving from many directions. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |
