[RPJ]

Scenario;

I file a IFR flight plan and I put OTP in the remarks section, after clearing cloud tops I inform ATC that I am on top and would like to cancel IFR and revert to VFR flight following to my destination. Would the controller immediately cancel my IFR plan or would I have to wait until the controller is ready to cancel? Should I put that I want VFR flight following after OTP in the remarks section or should I just wait until I am in the air on top to ask for flight following?


-Thanks
