"Going for the Visual"
A while back, I was with an experienced pilot, IMC, descending to land
at my home airport. The airport is not in an environment where ATC will give vectors to final. As we approached, ATC asked which approach we wanted. He said that he was "going for the visual." The ceilings were right at the Minimum Safe altitude (MSA)--3000. I think ATC said that we could descend to 3000 and report airport in sight. Is this request of "going for the visual" usual? Is it the norm if ceilings are above MSA? -Sami N2057M, Piper Turbo Arrow III
