A visual approach can be made any time you have visual contact on the airport or another aircraft that has been cleared for an appoach at the airport. It is up to you to fly the aircraft to safely land.

You refer to charted insturment approaches, these are only done for airports that utilize a visual approach with some degree of complexity. IE River Visual 19 at KDCA. These are actually reccommended routes to the runway visually. You can actually be cleared for a visual approach at any airport as long as the the weather allows for visual approaches to be conducted.

The Flight Deck / vfr landing with B738
« on: June 05, 2011, 04:18:32 PM »
I need youre help please with this issue.We ,Thomson Virtual, flying a event with difficult approaches/take offs.
1 leg brings us from KRKS to KGCN.
I'm using a B737-800 and at the landing there was wind from209/21 knots.RW's are 03 and 21 ,normally making a visual on 21.
But looking at the charts there is noting about using 21 only 03 is documented .I noticed that there are some hils ust in line from 21. My question is it allowed to make a vfr landing on 21 in kgcn???with a B737-800 or any other airport if there are no charts/documentation for the runway.
I got a penalty for landing with to much tailwind on rw03.
I know that I can land visual with a B737 but mostly the visuals are on the charts.
It would be fine if there is an answer mail it to me because I'm not often on VATUSA forum

in advance thx
regards
