Contact APPH: COC+1SM
Aircraft approach categories are based on
1.3 times the stall speed in landing configuration at maximum gross landing weight.
APPH CAT: 1.3 X Stall SPD @Gross Landing Weight
What are the main differences between a visual approach and a contact approach?
The pilot must request a contact approach, the pilot may be assigned a visual approach and higher weather minimums must exist.
Visual: Assigned VA
Contact: Request CR
What are the requirements for a contact approach to an airport that has an approved IAP, if the pilot is on an instrument flight plan and clear of cloud?
