Circle to Land @ KRBG

Forgive my ignorance, but if there is VFR traffic in the pattern, why
would cancelling IFR not be permitted?


Company policy.

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)

There are no instrument approaches in Class G

Each pilot of an

There are many instrument approaches in Class G airspace.

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.

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.

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.

If you're practicing in VMC, then you should break off the
approach and join a normal pattern.


That may not be an option.

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.
