Hold on, I need to get home to my desktop. edit: also just remembered noise abatement proc (if any) must still be respected in visuals. | |

| Feb 11, 2019 at 19:00 | comment | added | pericynthion | @Radu094 that's absolutely false, visual approaches in non-radar environments are common. | |

| Feb 11, 2019 at 9:15 | comment | added | Radu094 | only requirement I can remember for visual app is to stay above minimum radar alt. You are responsible for both trafffic and ground separation, but atc still needs to have you on radar | |

| Feb 11, 2019 at 4:43 | comment | added | slantalpha | @RonBeyer If you're cleared visual approach, it implies that you're on an IFR flight plan as far as I know. | |
| Feb 11, 2019 at 4:24 | comment | added | John K | Same if you're IFR in VFR conditions. | |
| Feb 11, 2019 at 4:01 | comment | added | Ron Beyer | Are you flying VFR? If so, then yes... | |
