Cadet Murphy, are you serious??
I suppose he doesn't frequent Miami...

ATC: If I give you a visual, can you make it from there?

Pilot: Um....ehhh...sure we can do it

ATC: OK, keep it tight, cleared for the visual 09

Pilot: Cleared visual approach runway 09 (AP disconnect aural warning in the background)

Fun times


And how would you do it if you didn't inserted it for whatever reason?
There I was, 2000ft abeam the numbers at 180kt, and out of nowhere the controller asked if I could see the field. Before I knew it, the captain said yes, and ATC cleared us for a visual approach. My hands trembled as I tried to create a PBD fix using the VOR, which was not located at the airport. The sweat was dripping from my brow as I wondered how I got myself into this mess...
