Visual Approaches in Transport Jets - are they appropriate?
Hello All,
Here at PB, we are now operating the 737-800 domestically within New Zealand. We are doing 5 sector days and there is of course pressure to meet OTP etc. There is an established practice within NZ of conducting visual approaches in pax carrying jet transports.
I would like to ask your opinions on the safety of conducting visual approaches.
What do you feel the benefit of a visual approach v. a full Instrument Approach would be and does it justify teh additional risks - what do you think those risks are?
Rgds,
Brad Marsh
