Charted Visual Flight Procedure | Special Visual Approaches

When you're assigned a visual approach, you can proceed to the final approach course visually by your own navigation. Some airports though have charted visual procedures, where a specific route must be flown, often for noise abatement, over known landmarks. Let's look at one in St. Petersburg, Florida here.

Thank you for today's daily dose o'learning.

Great topic to discuss. Thanks! My fav is definitely the Quiet Bridge Visual for 28R into KSFO. Fun to fly...note it will only be known as the "charted visual" by ATC and on ATIS. I guess everyone knows the name! If you fly in piston they will ask for fast speeds as you will be in staggered parallel approach with

Thanks for that - you explain things so clearly.

Thank you for video.
Please name the simulator you are using?

THE LANDING WILL BE ON A NON-PRECISION RUNWAY?

VISUAL DOESN'T COMPLETELY REQUIRE A TRI-DME CLEARANCE?

THERE IS A 1000 FEET VISUAL SEPERATION MINIMA?

ATC: "vectors for north bay visual"
Pilot in VFR Piper Cherokee: "unable" (due to lack of procedure in cockpit)

TTP is not required equipment for VFR flight

But nothing wrong doing it if able and have the procedures. but would be far easier for tower to simply vector you onto final and skip even mentioning the procedure.
