Forgive my ignorance, but if there is VFR traffic in the pattern, why
would cancelling IFR not be permitted? Ops specs? VFR traffic is illegally flying in what is really IFR conditions (not likely for a towered airport though)? Funny airspace (such as the FRZ or DC ADIZ, where cancelling might be problematic, though it might not be) Jose -- The price of freedom is... well... freedom. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

There are no instrument approaches in Class G

Instrument approaches are published for Class B,C,D and E
airspace. An instrument approach requires controlled airspace and traffic separation. Class G is uncontrolled and although there may be a Class G airport, the instrument approach is conducted in the Class E over laid above the Class G. -- James H.

Class G VFR weather minumum during day time is 1sm visibility and clear of clouds. At KRBG it's actually lower than the instrument approach minimum. If IFR all the way to the ground, then the circle to land should be done according to the restriction of the IAP. |

Class G is uncontrolled and although there may be a Class G airport, the instrument approach is conducted in the Class E over laid above the Class G. Many of them are also conducted in Class G airspace. Do you hold an instrument rating? |

How is that relevant to this discussion? The post you replied to quoted a FAR about traffic patterns at Class G airports, regardless of the airspace above. --Gary |

Class G is uncontrolled and although there may be a Class G airport, the instrument approach is conducted in the Class E over laid above the Class G. At uncontrolled airports instrument approaches are typically not contained entirely within controlled airspace. Check some of them out against a sectional and that will become apparent. Where the feds considered it essential to have the entire procedure contained within controlled airspace, they establish a Class E surface area. Class E surface areas are unusual. |
