(ii) The required takeoffs and landings were performed in an aircraft of the
same category, class, and type (if a type rating is required), and, if the
aircraft to be flown is an airplane with a tailwheel, the takeoffs and landings
must have been made to a full stop in an airplane with a tailwheel.
(2) For the purpose of meeting the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this

least one of the types of airplanes that the pilot seeks to operate under this
alternative, and the flight simulator's visual system was adjusted to represent
the period beginning 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise.

From the AIM
5-4-20. Visual Approach
a. A visual approach is conducted on an IFR flight plan and
authorizes a pilot to proceed visually and clear of clouds to the airport. The
pilot must have either the airport or the preceding identified aircraft in
sight. This approach must be authorized and controlled by the appropriate air
traffic control facility. Reported weather at the airport must have a ceiling
at or above 1,000 feet and visibility 3 miles or greater. ATC may authorize
this type approach when it will be operationally beneficial. Visual approaches
are an IFR procedure conducted under IFR in visual meteorological conditions.
Cloud clearance requirements of 14 CFR Section 91.155 are not applicable,
unless required by operation specifications.
b. Operating to an Airport Without Weather Reporting Service. ATC
will advise the pilot when weather is not available at the destination airport.
ATC may initiate a visual approach provided there is a reasonable assurance
that weather at the airport is a ceiling at or above 1,000 feet and visibility
3 miles or greater (e.g. area weather reports, PIREP's, etc.).
c. Operating to an Airport With an Operating Control Tower. Aircraft
may be authorized to conduct a visual approach to one runway while other
aircraft are conducting IFR or VFR approaches to another parallel, intersecting,
or converging runway. When operating to airports with parallel runways
separated by less than 2,500 feet, the succeeding aircraft must report sighting
the preceding aircraft unless standard separation is being provided by ATC.
When operating to parallel runways separated by at least 2,500 feet but less
than 4,300 feet, controllers will clear/vector aircraft to the final at an
angle not greater than 30 degrees unless radar, vertical, or visual separation
is provided during the turn-on. The purpose of the 30 degree intercept angle is
to reduce the potential for overshoots of the final and to preclude
side-by-side operations with one or both aircraft in a belly-up configuration
during the turn-on. Once the aircraft are established within 30 degrees of final,
or on the final, these operations may be conducted simultaneously. When the
parallel runways are separated by 4,300 feet or more, or
intersecting/converging runways are in use, ATC may authorize a visual approach
after advising all aircraft involved that other aircraft are conducting
operations to the other runway. This may be accomplished through use of the
ATIS.
d. Separation Responsibilities. If the pilot has the airport in
sight but cannot see the aircraft to be followed, ATC may clear the aircraft
for a visual approach; however, ATC retains both separation and wake vortex
separation responsibility. When visually following a preceding aircraft,
acceptance of the visual approach clearance constitutes acceptance of pilot
responsibility for maintaining a safe approach interval and adequate wake
turbulence separation.
e. A visual approach is not an IAP and therefore has no missed
approach segment. If a go around is necessary for any reason, aircraft
operating at controlled airports will be issued an appropriate
advisory/clearance/instruction by the tower. At uncontrolled airports, aircraft
are expected to remain clear of clouds and complete a landing as soon as
possible. If a landing cannot be accomplished, the aircraft is expected to
remain clear of clouds and contact ATC as soon as possible for further
clearance. Separation from other IFR aircraft will be maintained under these
circumstances.
f. Visual approaches reduce pilot/controller workload and
expedite traffic by shortening flight paths to the airport. It is the pilot's
responsibility to advise ATC as soon as possible if a visual approach is not
desired.
g. Authorization to conduct a visual approach is an IFR
authorization and does not alter IFR flight plan cancellation responsibility.
REFERENCE-
AIM, Canceling IFR Flight Plan, Paragraph 5-1-13.
h. Radar service is automatically terminated, without advising the
pilot, when the aircraft is instructed to change to advisory frequency.
5-4-22. Contact Approach
a. Pilots
operating in accordance with an IFR flight plan, provided they are clear of
clouds and have at least 1 mile flight visibility and can reasonably expect to
continue to the destination airport in those conditions, may request ATC
authorization for a contact approach.
b. Controllers
may authorize a contact approach provided:
1. The contact
approach is specifically requested by the pilot. ATC cannot initiate this
approach.
EXAMPLE-
Request contact approach.
2. The reported
ground visibility at the destination airport is at least 1 statute mile.
3. The contact
approach will be made to an airport having a standard or special instrument
approach procedure.
4. Approved
separation is applied between aircraft so cleared and between these aircraft
and other IFR or special VFR aircraft.
EXAMPLE-
Cleared contact approach (and, if required) at or below (altitude) (routing) if
not possible (alternative procedures) and advise.
c. A contact
approach is an approach procedure that may be used by a pilot (with prior
authorization from ATC) in lieu of conducting a standard or special IAP to an
airport. It is not intended for use by a pilot on an IFR flight clearance to
operate to an airport not having a published and functioning IAP. Nor is it
intended for an aircraft to conduct an instrument approach to one airport and
then, when "in the clear," discontinue that approach and proceed to
another airport. In the execution of a contact approach, the pilot assumes the
responsibility for obstruction clearance. If radar service is being received,
it will automatically terminate when the pilot is instructed to change to
advisory frequency.
