Touchdown! Greaser!
Agreed. I wasn't clear but was indeed thinking in terms of a 1000 AGL ceiling. In either case if you cancel you are required to remain 500 ft below or 2000 ft laterally separated from any clouds in class E, on a visual or contact approach clearance you don't (and yes I know you knew that).Quote:

Only if they form a ceiling. A visual approach can be had with scattered clouds at 900', for example.
