Q

Visual Approach procedures?

When established on 3° by?
What minimum altitude?

A

Aircraft instruments still primary reference, sensible mix of external and internal cues

Standard visual circuit rarely the best option due to airspace / rarely practiced

Must be on 3º by 1000 AAL

At least 1500 AAL (500 RA) until final descent

Maintain visual with landing environment, beware of illusions

AOI/CCI may ban night visuals
