I don't know about the rest of ye all, but the real world out here is to be vectored as low as the controller can give you, get the airport in sight, and "cancelling IFR". That way the 1000 & 3 does not apply. Jim Roy Smith shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: - -The MSA has little to do with it. The MSA is an emergency altitude with -no regulatory meaning (at least in the US). What's important is that -you've got the weather minimums for a visual approach (1000 & 3) and -that ATC can issue you a clearance to descend low enough that you can -see the airport (or the aircraft you're following).
