During a Visual Approach in controlled class C who is responsible to maintain separation: the pilot or the ATC ?
As far as the UK is concerned; from CAP493:
Visual Approach
An approach by an IFR flight when part or all of an instrument approach procedure is not completed and the approach is executed with visual reference to terrain. (ICAO)
Within controlled airspace, standard separation shall be effected between such aircraft and other IFR and/or Special VFR aircraft.
In Class C airspace, controllers shall provide separation between:
1. IFR flights,
2. IFR flights and VFR flights.
