Towards the end of my flight, I had the following exchange with air traffic control:
Approach Control: “N1234, expect visual approach Runway 32.”
On The Air: September 2018
I had this exchange on a flight back to a rural Arkansas airport from Florida. I usually fly IFR even in VFR conditions. I was at 6000 feet, with a broken layer below me. I usually cancel about 20 miles in advance, as Memphis Center cannot see me on radar, or communicate with me once I descend below 3000 feet.
