IFR Cancellation Question

You just land. Really, then how does the system know you landed and not crashed on approach? The tower will know if you landed. What did you think happened? What happens (I'm mostly thinking helicopters here) if you land someplace within the CDSA that's off-airport and out of sight of the tower? For example, at HPN, we've got a private helipad not far from the airport. I don't imagine that's too unusual. |

I've been in a tower cab when this happened. I've also been there when they've hit the button, called the tracon and gotten a release. Were they special occasions? I don't know I don't spend a lot of time visiting. Explain how it happens at your location. |

Correct me if I am wrong as I have never been in the ADIZ, but in the ADIZ, you will hear IFR cancellation received, but you WILL NOT hear "Squawk VFR, have good day" Correct, they usually will remind you to "remain on this squawk until on the ground" but I don't think there's any obligation that the do this. |

I don't know how it happens, but the requirement is that they're supposed to notice whether I have arrived at my destination not whether I was handed off by approach. This means one of two things: 1. Tower must tell the system that I've landed. 2. Tower must tell the system that I haven't landed. |

Explain how it happens at your location. When I worked at what is now a class D it happens as I said. Airplane lands and I tell him to contact ground control. No calls to the facility that was our approach control. There was no need to. For releases it depends on what you have worked out with your approach control. At that facility we had to call for each release. There could just as easily have been a letter of agreement allowing me to release IFR aircraft on certain headings at my discretion. I work at a class C now. The tower controller is, by definition, an approach controller here. Everything is automatic. The only time you call for a release is when you want to launch someone opposite direction and then only if you are running standard procedures. Many of us just make a quick verbal agreement between tower and approach that I as a tower controller can launch aircraft anytime, anywhere and the approach controller will accept them. |

Tower must tell the system that I've landed. 2. Tower must tell the system that I haven't landed. The tower is "the system". At a tower without radar the approach control will call on the landline and tell them about the IFR inbound. At the agreed upon time/place the approach control tells the aircraft to contact tower. Aircraft lands. Tower goes back to conversation on how bad the Bears quarterback really is. The only time the tower calls the approach control back is if something unusual happens. Aircraft never calls tower at the expected time, aircraft has some kind of problem that requires him to manuver unexpectedly thereby possibly affecting separation of others inbound or outbound, etc. A normal approach and landing is what's expected. In a tower with radar all the above happens without a call on the landline. The transfer of information is automated. |
