Using the magenta circles

Sorry... Forgot to mention the concept of cancelling in
the air once airport is in sight... NY likes it much better
that way...

The fact that VFR minimums in class G are 1 mile and
clear of clouds is not to encourage VFR pilots to go fly
in that, but to make it legal for instrument pilots to complete
approaches where the visibility minimums are 1 mile in the
class G airspace...


VFR minimums have nothing to do with IFR approaches.

Be careful there... if controlled airspace exists below 1200 feet and you
break out of the clouds at 1000 feet with the runway in sight so you cancel
IFR, you have just broken the minimum cloud separation requirement for VFR
flight.

This obviously helps if your cancelling lets the following aircraft carry on
with the approach. It also helps if you are the following aircraft, and the
pilot in front is on the ground or in sight, without having canceled.

If you do that, would it be helpful to let ATC know you're continuing the
(now, practice) approach under VFR?

I'm talking about real approaches... With real weather...
