Visual Approach
The "Visual Approach" is a method used in aviation to land an aircraft visually, relying on the pilot's sight rather than instruments. This technique is often employed when weather conditions are clear, allowing pilots to see the runway and surrounding environment. It helps pilots make decisions based on visual cues, enhancing situational awareness during landing.
In a visual approach, pilots typically follow specific procedures to ensure safety. They may use landmarks, such as buildings or roads, to navigate and align with the runway. This approach is particularly useful at airports with visual flight rules (VFR) and can improve efficiency by reducing reliance on air traffic control.
