Yes,

With regard to Jepp.....in Jepp (usually Vol 1), there is a section called "ATC" which describes procedures for each country....procedures that may be the same as ICAO...or may be slightly different from ICAO. My question was: Is there something in this Jepp Vol 1 "ATC" which discusses visual approaches in Canada?

Second, I seem to remember a restriction in Canada (the reason I'm bringing this up) that required, when cleared for a visual approach, you should intercept final approach at least ten miles out at at least 3000 feet AGL.

Used to, whenever flying to a foreign country, review this Jepp ATC section to check on any differences....such as radio failure....or holding patterns....or the like. I can't remember about visual approaches....no longer have access to the Jepp manuals...(retired now)....

Just thought someone would be able to shed some light on this.


Fly safe,
