Completing the Non-precision approach as a Visual Approach

If you have the runway in sight you don't need to cancel or request a
contact approach

Steve,

If this ap is a non-towered ap then he would have been allowed to change
freq to CTAF once cleared for the approach. Once he was assured a landing
or after he was on the ground I think he'd have to tune back to approach
control and cancel IFR with ATC.

Or via phone call to FSS, but what's your point?

Hmmm....I just re-read your post and I thought you were stating that he
would not have to cancel *IFR*. Now that I read closer I see you were
referring to a *contact approach*.

What's my point? I'm a lousy reader.

I was saying he wouldn't have to cancel IFR or request a contact approach in
order to descend from the MDA if he had the runway in sight. Of course he
would still have to cancel his IFR clearance eventually.
