Or does the FAA ‘visual approach’ imply visual separation; if so then all relevant aircraft positions should be notified, and those involved must be able to see each other and should manoeuvre to ensure no ACAS resolution conflict.
Gross assumptions all round.
I agree with You, but that's why You need to be briefed on how things work at certain airports to avoid any type of issue and trying to comply with ATC requests as far as practical. It's how it works there, it's either You get ready for it or get caught by it.
