IIRC flying IFR into an uncontrolled field is a one-in & one-out deal.
In essence you "own" the airspace (not the runway) until you've landed
& cancelled with ATC or flown somewhere else. Only then can ATC bring
in another aircraft for an approach (assuming IMC conditions exist). I
think a parallel to a controlled field would be the local controller
sterilizing the airspace of any special VFRs aircraft when IAPs are in
effect.


The surface area does not need to be "sterilized" of SVFR aircraft, they
just need to be separated from IFR or other SVFR aircraft.
