radar service terminated means just that...no radar procedures are now in effect, but your instrument clearance is as before. you know about position reports, doing your own navigation (onboard). Also, no more traffic advisories...but you do have the airspace protected from IFR traffic.

Going into KPHL on a routine basis for my airline, we often had radar service terminated by Center with a frequency change to approach control...approach control answered right away and they never reported us in radar contact, so we had to ask>>>EACH TIME.

Now, everywhere else in the 48 lower states this isn't the case...but KPHL is a really nutty spot with New York Center and Washington Center both trying not to have too much to do with it..

If you are making a visual to a non ATC airport...fine...upon landing, if able via radio, cancel direct with ATC...if not, attempt to contact Flight Service via radio or even over the VOR freq and ask them to relay to ATC . If not, find a phone and call atc via telephone.

I daresay that many questions on tech log about instrument procedures could be answered by reading the Aeronautical Information Manual....buy a copy for settling bets.
