Beagle - 24 (2) (b) if interpreted as written would render illegal all instrument approaches flown solo where there is VMC above MDA/DA.
GTE - yes one needs to keep a lookout for traffic at all times when VMC, in CAS or (especially) OCAS. That does mean one is not going to be flying actually on instruments, the whole time, unless there is a competent safety pilot. But that also does not mean one cannot fly the procedure in terms of lateral and vertical navigation. In terms of instrument approach currency I think such approaches remain valuable because one can always practice IMC flight on separate occassions.
flybymike - I was referring to IFR
