Weather reporting is a requirement for a surface area, but the absence of a surface area does not mean the absence of weather reporting. MBO has an AWOS. That's why I said 'probably'. Do all AWOSes report weather to US NWS/ATC? -Milen |

Well, sure, of course they can. They can terminate it whenever they want. I had assumed that my sighting the field was the trigger for ending it -- because then I'd be ready to switch to the tower or CTAF. And if I had any doubt about my ability to find the airport, then I'd certainly want to keep flight following going until I *did* have the field in sight. ....

What if you're just a couple of miles from the field but haven't reported it in sight? I'm not sure. I wouldn't want to drop from the frequency without flight following being terminated. If I didn't report it because I didn't see it, I'd ask for help finding it. If I didn't report it because I just dropped from the frequency, what would happen? Would it trigger S&R procedures? ....

Underneath KPHX, Deer Valley, Scottsdale, Williams Gateway, Falcon Field, Chandler. Scottsdale is very popular for GA, Williams handles a lot of the overload from KPHX and is thus very busy for a Class D. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Shouldn't you be terminated when it's time to switch to tower or CTAF even if you don't have the field in sight? And if I had any doubt about my ability to find the airport, then I'd certainly want to keep flight following going until I *did* have the field in sight. Why? |

How do you mean "should" he as what's best, or as what's standard procedure? I've only experienced having them wait to terminate until I had the field in sight. 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. And if I had any doubt about my ability to find the airport, then I'd certainly want to keep flight following going until I *did* have the field in sight. Why? Because if I'm having trouble spotting the field, either I need help because it's hard to find, or I'm just not in the right place (i.e., "lost"), and need help finding it because I'm lost. ....
