What type of FPL should I make and when do I request Visual Approach?

1

I watched mark Denton for like visual approach and all but I was wondering for the flight plan do you set it straight to the airport and when do I ask the air traffic control for visual approach

Cheers 😃

When I make a flight plan, I don’t select the waypoints leading up to the runway I want to land at. I usually will decide what runway best fits me about 30 minutes from arrival with the help of the METAR and FR24. If there is ATC (Approach or Tower), you should always listen to them. If it is on Expert server, IFATC knows what they are doing. If it is on Training Server, I wouldn’t count on it. You would request Visual/ILS/GPS Approach when you reach the controllers airspace. Just note the controller might not let you do a visual approach. Hope this helps you out!

Yeah to add onto what Plane said you can always change your fpl before landing but to make the initial FPL you can use a site to make a fpl but if the winds changes you can change the FPL before you land

I use

Also:
You want to request the visual when you got like 8 or 10 sm of visibility… that way you can see clearly and make sure your lines up on the runway… but if they dont give it to you then take the ILS or GPS approach or whatever one they say

Hope that helps even more
