"John Clonts" wrote in message ... I requested and received a Contact Approach on about my third flight after receiving my instrument rating! I was being vectored "outbound" for the ILS at Temple. Clouds were scattered-to-broken at about 700 ft AGL, and visibity was excellent. Once I saw that I could easily get under them and get back to the field, I got the contact approach and it saved me about 10-15 miles of vectoring. Visual approach would not have worked because of the cloud clearance. Well I guess you could say it would've "worked" but it wouldn't have been legal  What is the legality? What's the required cloud clearance for a visual approach?
