O. Sami Saydjari wrote: So, my question becomes, at what point do you abort the attempt to go visual and transition to an IFR approach. When you are over the airport and can't see it. Say, you have a GPS and ATC cleared you down to 2000 ft AGL and you are 10 miles from the airport. Do you continue at that altitude to the airport until you are right on top of it (controller permitting), notice that you are still not out of the clouds, and then ask for an IFR approach at that point? Yes. Just trying to see how the transition from "going for visual" to "err, no can do...need an instrument" happens. Does the controller force the decision at some distance out? He may if there is other traffic. If you are the only one and therefore aren't causing delays for anybody I'll drive you right to the airport, if you call it in sight then you can have the visual, if not you'll do an instrument approach. |
