Visual approach then GA

[Busserday]

Flying with feeling is great it is always a good idea to at least know what rules one is busting:
ICAO approved:
9.6.2 Visual Approach
A visual approach is an approach wherein an aircraft on an IFR flight plan (FP), operating in VMC under the control of ATC and having ATC authorization, may proceed to the destination airport.
To gain operational advantages in a radar environment, the pilot may request or ATC may initiate a visual approach, provided that:

1. the reported ceiling is at least 500 ft above the established minimum IFR altitude and the ground visibility is at least 3 SM;
2. the pilot reports sighting the airport (controlled or uncontrolled); and
3. at a controlled airport:

1. the pilot reports sighting the preceding aircraft and is instructed by ATC to follow or maintain visual separation from that aircraft; or
2. the pilot reports sighting the airport but not the preceding aircraft, in which case ATC will ensure separation from the preceding aircraft until:

1. the preceding aircraft has landed; or
2. the pilot has sighted the preceding aircraft and been instructed to follow or maintain visual separation from it.

ATC considers acceptance of a visual approach clearance as acknowledgement that the pilot should be responsible for:

1. at controlled airports, maintaining visual separation from the preceding aircraft that the pilot is instructed to follow or from which the pilot is instructed to maintain visual separation;
2. maintaining adequate wake turbulence separation;
3. navigating to the final approach;
4. adhering to published noise abatement procedures and complying with any restrictions that may apply to Class F airspace; and
5. at uncontrolled airports, maintaining appropriate separation from VFR traffic that, in many cases, will not be known to ATC.

A visual approach is not an IAP and therefore has no missed approach segment. If a go-around is necessary for any reason, aircraft operating at controlled airports will be issued an appropriate advisory/clearance/instruction by the tower. At uncontrolled airports, aircraft crews are required to remain clear of clouds and are expected to complete a landing as soon as possible. If a landing cannot be accomplished, the aircraft crew is required to remain clear of clouds, maintain separation from other airport traffic and is expected to contact ATC as soon as possible for further clearance. ATC separation from other IFR aircraft is only assured once further ATC clearance has been received and acknowledged by the aircraft crew.
