Visual Approach Question
The only restriction that should be given in conjunction with it relates to traffic ............
From UK CAA CAP493 (MATS Part 1) Section 2 Chapter 3 Page 5 Para 9.8 :-
"When an aircraft is cleared for a visual approach the clearance must include, where appropriate, a descent restriction that will ensure that the aircraft remains within controlled airspace."

Quite right spekesoftly, I stand corrected and should have double checked the MATS 1 before posting. In my defence it is not usually an issue where I work.

CAS wasn't a problem where I worked, but lots of helicopters under the approach were, hence an altitude restriction was sometimes applied to provide standard separation as required from other IFR and/or SVFR traffic.
