Which statement about Visual Approach is true?

Which statement about Visual Approach is true?

• A. It requires a fully completed instrument approach.
• B. It must be conducted in uncontrolled airspace only.
• C. It is performed with visual reference to terrain when part or all of an instrument approach procedure is not completed.
• D. It can only be used by helicopters.

Answer: (C)

A visual approach is an arrival flown primarily by looking outside and using visual references to the terrain and airport, with ATC guidance, rather than following a full instrument approach procedure. It’s appropriate when you can maintain visual contact with the airport or the preceding aircraft and the weather supports horizontal and vertical clearance by sight. The correct statement fits because a visual approach is specifically performed with visual reference to the surface and can be used when part or all of an instrument approach procedure isn’t completed; you descend and land using what you can see while ATC provides separation and directions. It’s not limited to uncontrolled airspace, nor restricted to helicopters, and it doesn’t require a fully completed instrument approach.
