The Visual is a type of Approach to a Runway conducted under Instrumental Flight Rules where the Pilot proceeds visually clear of clouds.

The Airport, Terrain, and surrounding Traffic must be insight.

The Visual Approach must be Authorized by the Air Traffic Control.

According to ICAO, the VIsual Approach can commence when either all or a part of the Instrumental Approach Procedure is not completed. This means that if you have the visual references and the Air Traffic Controller Authorize you, you can start the Visual Approach at any time during your approach.

Visual Approach allowed with a Runway Visual Range lower than 800m.

Let's talk about Visual Approach Responsibilities:
When a Pilot accepts a Visual Approach he or she takes full responsibility for the separation with the Traffic (including the wake turbulence), Terrain, and Obstacles.

What are the Advantages of the Visual Approach?
One, It reduces the Pilot and Air Traffic Control workload, this is so because the pilot doesn't have to follow the multiple instructions and restrictions associated with an Instrumental Approach Procedure, and the Air Traffic Control doesn't have to actively control the Aircraft and issue instructions to the Pilots (since they are proceeding visually).

Two, It expedites the Air Traffic Flow. When you fly a Visual Approach you can shorten your Approach route substantially, this will increase the Aircraft separation allowing more Pilots to land.

Three, It increases Fuel Efficiency since a shorter route means less time with the engines running.

Threats and Error associated with the Visual Approach:
One, depending on where you perform the Visual Approach it might increase your workload, this is particularly true if you perform a Visual Approach in a busy Airport because, as previously mentioned, you are responsible for the separation with the other Pilots.

Two, Confusion, it happens already that some crew landed on the wrong runway, Left runway instead of the Right runway or vice versa. Also, happens that the crew landed at the wrong Airport. Make sure you study the Area before performing the VIsual.

Three, Not enough Traffic Separation, in busy Airport you can get to close the next Aircraft that is landing in front of you.

Take all these factors into consideration when choosing where to perform the Visual Approach.

Some Airlines/Companies set a restriction that doesn't allow new Captains and First Officer to perform Visual Approaches unless it is the only approach available.

What happens if you need to Go Around during the Visual Approach?
You should follow the Go Around of the Instrumental Approach Procedure in use.

Let me give you some advice for your next Visual Approach:
1. Make sure you where you are going, pay particular attention to multiple runways Airports identify the Landing runway!
2. Even if you are proceeding visually you can still use the Radios Aids such as VOR, DME, ILS to help you with the Visual Approach Execution.
3. Performing a good briefing BEFORE starting the Approach will prepare you well, many PIlots decide to start the Visual when on downwind because they have a great runway view. They disconnect the Automatics and dive into the final which, in many cases end up in a high energy scenario. Make sure you are at the right Altitude and Speed before starting the Visual Approach.
4. Even if you are proceeding Visually make sure you are respecting the minimum Altitudes especially when overflying populated areas.
5. Coordinate with the Air Traffic Control the Missed Approach just in case you need to.
