Touchdown! Greaser!
So, I'm right, right?
I dunno. I still haven't figured out exactly what you are saying. Gimme a clearance and the series of transmissions with ATC

Seems consistent with the P/CG, as far as I can tell.
Oh, I don't have the time right now for that. I had to log back in just to say this. Richard's real good at putting stuff together, maybe he'll offer up a scenario. Or wait 'till I get back later.
In the interest of saving time let's just say we want to hop across a bit of Lake Erie (my home Lake) from KPCW (Port Clinton) to 3W2 (Put In Bay) which has no IFR approach. The Detroit sectional shows a couple towers in the 900'+ range, so add 1000' and round up to 2000' MSL for a MIA. It's only 7+ miles from the PCW NDB, so you could time from the NDB or use GPS if it's in the database. There's no SIAP, so no worry about being accused of accepting a clearance you're unequipped to fly. If there were, you might define a fix according to the AIM in terms of bearing and distance, or if 3W2 is not retrievable from the database. In the route block, "Direct". In the destination, "Put In Bay". In remarks, "Need a cruise clearance to 3W2 due to no SIAP." In cruising altitude, "3,000 ft." In alternate, "KPCW".Ok. when ya get back gimme a departure airport, the fix yer talkin about and the destination. I'll fill in some blanks and we can take it from there.

Your ball. If this won't work, how would you MAKE it work?

You should have read the rest of it,Didn’t read your whole post. I stopped at “...which has no IFR Approach...”. I’ll just agree that everything you said after that is correct because I know that you know how it works. But, this thread is about an airport that does have a published instrument approach. And there are significant differences in how ‘Cruise clearances’ work between airports with published approaches and those without.
The OP's scenario is that the ceiling is below the MVA, so no way to get low enough to start a visual approach.The OPs scenario would give you a visual approach at probably 99% of the airports in the country.

If I were flying in many countries other than the U.S. I would have that information displayed on my iPad with ship's position.

Chi-waa-waa.That is quite the name there... Imagine the frequency congestion when that tower shuts down and it reverts to a Pilot Controlled airport. Y'all thought KLAS was bad...
You have to have an instrument approach procedure to get a contact approach.
Could be. It would depend upon ATC at the time.Just because the procedure is restricted doesn't make it non-existent. The requirement is "The contact approach will be made to an airport having a standard or special approach procedure." No requirement that the it has to be flyable by the plane requesting the contact appraoch.
Perhaps. The ATC handbook differs from the AIM as in that it says "is functioning" Of course, the latter is not a well-defined term either.Could be. It would depend upon ATC at the time.
Chi-waa-waa.
Are you being intentionally obtuse? I was obviously referring to the name of the airport.

No. I was referring to one of the approach charts. I presumed you had them, and/or flew in Latin America. My mistake.
A huge percentage of the airports in Latin America are named after generals. But, in those cases the tower has a different name. San Jose, Costa Rica is Coco approach control and Coco tower.You two are funny. Wally, I'm pretty sure @smv was joking about the AIM requirement to use the airport name in traffic calls at uncontrolled airports. So if the tower here is closed, the call would be "Gen Div P A Roberto Fierro Villalobos Intl traffic, Cessna 123 left downwind runway 36R, full stop, Gen Div P A Roberto Fierro Villalobos Intl"
I see the green text now. I didn't on the first go-around. I'm old and it was early.IT WAS A JOKE!!!!
I was certain the green text and big green smiley guy would be a dead giveaway.
