IFR Cancellation Question
Mike Adams wrote: Well since this is my home base, I would terminate flight following and request a frequency change when about 10 miles from the airport, so I could give the tower a call. That is, if approach hadn't dropped me before that. What about the report of the field in sight? Isn't safety compromised if you terminate flight following before reporting the field in sight? |

In the message where you declared a visual approach shuts down an uncontrolled field until the aircraft cancels IFR you spoke of an unrelated experience when you arrived in IMC. So what was the experience that led to your erroneous conclusion? |

How so? I can find the airport without ATC's help. At this particular airport, radar coverage is pretty crummy, so approach is more likely to terminate me before the 10 mile point anyway, and visibility is usually not an issue. Mike |

It was probably my mixing apples with oranges, thinking that the IMC approaches where I couldn't get a SVFR clearance back to MBO (2 times I tried this) so I could do a visual approach. Controller said he was unable because the preceding traffic did not cancel IFR. Allen |

With no controlled airspace down to the surface, you probably won't have that either, so you won't be able to get clearance for a contact approach. -Milen |

In both approaches, viz wasn't the problem so much as the 900 foot ceilings. Had the viz been bad, it wouldn't have even crossed my mind to request a SVFR. Allen |

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. |
