Visual Approach IFR Cancellation
Posted: 06-24-2009, 11:43 AM

So there has been a battle for several weeks now between Tower and Radar at my facility concerning a Visual Approach. Heres the question, If a Visual Approach goes missed approach, is that aircraft IFR or VFR? 7110.65 7-4-1 states that there is "No missed approach segment. An aircraft unable to complete a visual approach shall be handled as any GO-AROUND.." Only VFR aircraft get go arounds, IFR aircraft get missed approach procedures, right? Now according to the AIM 5-4-22 section G, "Authorization to conduct a visual approach is an IFR authorization and does not alter IFR flight plan cancellation responsibility." Then the AIM references Canceling IFR Flight Plan 5-1-14, but that section says nothing about a visual approach. Just looking for others opinions.
