In order to keep our semantics correct a contact approach and a visual approach are two different approaches used in different circumstances. See the AIM for a description of each -- very easy to confuse the two.

Maybe a student for the IFR rating could go fly with the examiner with only an approach-certified GPS on board for nav, and shoot a GPS approach, a PAR approach to a military airport, and a contact visual approach in VMC and walk away with his ticket. I bet that's never been done, though. It seems to violate the spirit of the thing, somehow ;-) -Bill B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message avionics-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Avionics-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/avionics-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/avionics-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
