1.8.4 During a flight a pilot may elect to cancel an IFR flight plan.
1.8.5 When a pilot has expressed his intention to cancel an IFR flight plan, the ATSU will
pass the pilot any available meteorological information which makes it likely that flight
in VMC cannot be maintained.
1.9 Low Visibility Procedures
1.9.1 Aerodromes that wish to continue operating in poor visibility or are available for
instrument approaches in conditions of low cloud are required to develop and
maintain Low Visibility Procedures (LVP). Controllers shall advise pilots of the
implementation and subsequent cancellation of LVP at an aerodrome.
1.10 Delays
1.10.1 Where an aircraft is required to hold before making an approach the expected delay
shall be passed to the pilot.
1.10.2 Expected Approach Time (EAT) is the time that Approach Control estimate that an
aircraft will be able to leave the holding facility, following a delay, to commence its
approach to land.
1.10.3 If for reasons other than weather, e.g. an obstruction on the runway, the extent of the
delay is not known, aircraft are to be advised "delay not determined" followed by the
reason for the delay.
