Resume normal position reporting.
1813
You are cruising at 190 knots. ATC instructs you to reduce speed to 160. You comply by reducing
IAS to 160 knots and maintaining that speed plus or minus 10 knots.
1814
When is radar service terminated during a visual approach?
Automatically when ATC instructs the pilot to contact the tower.

(Refer to Figure 226.) Departing from Lamar Muni (LAA), ceiling is 300 feet overcast and visibility 2 SM. How can you obtain an IFR clearance?
Contact Flight Service before taxiing.
2875
An abbreviated departure clearance “…CLEARED AS FILED…” means that
you are cleared to fly the filed route unless ATC otherwise directs.
