Otherwise, I can't see how it will fit in with ATC procedures. Coming off a Eurocontrol flight plan, ATC expects you to drop off the enroute section (as directed), and fly the approach (as directed).
"As directed" is almost always radar vectors for the ILS
or visual approach, isn't it? I don't see why it has to involve VFR, though it might. A European version of the contact approach would be helpful.
