Cool. Pilots often get that wrong, canceling before they have the required
VFR cloud clearance in controlled airspace, and sometimes get busted for
it.

I hear it here (SJC) at bunch. GA plane gets a IFR to VFR on top, and
reports: "OK, we just broke out, tops 2400, cancel IFR" - something like
that. When I get that clearance, I feel bad spending more than a minute in
perfect visibility while the 'big iron' sits on the ground at SJC, but it's
the rules and it does prevent one of those 'big-irons' climbing into me (or
at least helps prevents it).
