Tower can say either, "Closed approved, report base" or "Call sign, insert instructions, call radar on XXX.xx"

Call radar? Where are you flying?

Yeah, because you were privy to every single event that happened at ComAir...

Guys...

Obviously this isn't that big of a deal but it does make for a fun discussion. For those of you getting frustrated that the conversation is taking place because the answer is so easy...chill. If it were that easy there wouldn't be so many differing opinions on it.

And I ask not because it's what I think about all day, but because it has come up multiple times and I enjoy finding answers to questions I'm not 100% on.

I appreciate those who have taken time and brain power to discuss the topic however.

Some of you think way too much about this job. Just fly the damn airplane. Who cares if there's a fed in the jumpseat. Your "bugged" altitude means nothing. You haven't violated anything.

Your bugged altitude means a lot if you've briefed something different than what the controller expects and you stop there before you can get their attention....

Some of you don't think enough about this job.

Several have answered this properly so far. You stated in your original post that it is your "company policy" to fly 1500 agl. Company policy usually means your op specs and those are all FAA approved. You should never be faulted for following your company procedures!

Many will argue, but I feel this its the right answer. If you go to an interview with a major carrier and they ask you a TMAAT question about regs or policy, and you state "our company policy says to fly this altitude, but I heard from several others to fly something different so I did, disregarding my company policy". You will not get the job...

From page one, this guy still gets the win. You all are making a big deal over nothing. Have any of you ever gone around and not been given tower instructions? You can brief, bug, plan whatever you want. Doesn't matter.

From AOPA

"A visual approach is not an IAP and therefore has no missed approach segment. If a go around is necessary for any reason, aircraft operating at controlled airports will be issued an appropriate advisory/clearance/instruction by the tower. At uncontrolled airports, aircraft are expected to remain clear of clouds and complete a landing as soon as possible." explains AIM 5-4-23(e).
