Default Flight Following and OOPS

You weren't wrong, you didn't bust Class C airspace, you didn't need to
climb back up, and you have no need of a NASA form. Controllers are
supposed to terminate Class C service to aircraft landing at satellite
airports within Class C airspace or the associated outer area at a
sufficient distance from the airport to allow the pilot to change to the
appropriate frequency for traffic and airport information. FAR 91.130
requires radio communications while within Class C airspace, but like
most FARs dealing with ATC it begins with the phrase "unless otherwise
authorized by ATC."


Thanks Steven. I was certainly terminated well before my destination
airport. My destination was probably is excess of 12 miles from the edge
of C airspace, which is certainly enough time to loose the altitude to get
into the pattern safely.
