I always enjoy the magazine. Thank you to all who provide and produce the content.
In Tarrance Kramer’s “Towerless Tribulations” article in April, he discussed the benefit of pilots cancelling IFR before landing at a non-towered airport. I agree with this sentiment; however it is worth noting that there are commercial operators whose Operations Manuals prohibit them from cancelling IFR until after landing and also prohibit departing VFR and picking up the clearance in the air. I worked at such an operation for many years and was aware that keeping my IFR clearance until landing wasn’t the most efficient operation or the best way to make friends. Nonetheless, I was required to do just that.
