ergo: it wouldn’t matter whether visual approaches were added to field 10 or not as it was not the visual approach that was the issue, it was the application by the pilot of visual separation. It shouldn’t require a remark in field 18 for ATC to discharge their responsibility to separate IFR aircraft in controlled airspace.
Again I ask, is it notified anywhere that DLH have to do any of what you suggest when operating into KSFO? Is it notified anywhere that an ILS approach is, apparently, unavailable at any time?
