Departure and Terminal Procedures
(2) In lieu of an enroute descent, pilot
is expected to execute the entire
IAP unless visual contact is made
and a visual or contact approach is
requested and approved, or if the
pilot cancels his IFR flight plan
(a) It is solely the pilot's
prerogative to cancel his IFR
clearance
(b) Retention of the IFR
clearance does not afford
priority over VFR traffic, i.e.,
pilot of arriving IFR aircraft
may have to adjust his flight
path as necessary to enter
traffic pattern in sequence with
arriving VFR traffic
h.
After receiving a revised clearance, or
an approach clearance, prior to the
final approach descent, all military
pilots will report the newly assigned/
designated altitude when they report
vacating the previously assigned
altitude/flight level
