I'm a commercial helicopter pilot flying air ambulance. I hear all the time "report landing assured" when landing off airport to a hospital or scene location, I've always just answered positively once I started my final approach but never really looked into it. Today I did and really can't find any answers. I've read on old forms that it's been done away with several years ago but obviously not since I was just told to do it today.
The question is what defines landing assured?
ATC is using it as a way to end their control over me, after I answer landing assured they tell me "frequency change well talk to you later".
