Pilots usually went visual.
Yes I always use this as well, but after giving a pilot a few vectors I find that pilots don't want to ask anymore. If the traffic situation is suitable for a visual at that time, which would also cut down on RTF time due to no more vectors, how do I remind a pilot that he can go visual if he wants?
Maybe ICAO is starting to think along these lines.
Looks like there is no standard out there.
Thanks to all for your contributions. Keep them coming if anyone has any more!
