Yes, but you have to maintain VMC, whereas on a visual approach under
IFR, that is not a requirement, so long as you maintain the field in
sight. In other words, you don't have to maintain VFR cloud clearance
requirements while enroute from your present position to the field.


Or you can have the preceding aircrat in sight.
