Quokka, what do you mean by “incorrect”?
In North America – that is, the USA and Canada, an IFR aircraft in radar covered airspace is not permitted to go below the lowest safe or minimum safe altitude until the pilot has “cancelled IFR” or it is clear that the pilot is on the correct and legal approach path.
In Australia, because we are still using the old “Flight Service” rules in low level radar covered airspace, there is no requirement to report when visual.
I have a feeling that you have a closed mind in relation to this. Have you ever personally flown in North America or acted as an air traffic controller there? Those who have will know that all IFR flights are conducted in controlled airspace and the air traffic controller has a responsibility to the pilot – which is not there when an aircraft is in uncontrolled airspace.
