These examples explain the visual report needed for the independent visual approach procedure. A report of visual conditions and a report of the runway in sight are different requirements in the source diagrams.
Both aircraft established on final
When both aircraft are already on their respective localizer or GLS final approach course, each only needs to report visual. The first diagram shows both aircraft aligned with the separate parallel runways.
One aircraft established, one intercepting
The aircraft already on its localizer or GLS final approach course only needs to report visual. The aircraft still on the intercept must have reported the runway in sight. The intercept angle shown is 30° or less.
Both aircraft intercepting
Both aircraft must report the runway in sight. Each intercept angle is 30° or less. They turn toward their own runway centrelines without crossing through into the adjacent approach.
These reports support an IVA clearance; making the report is not itself the clearance. Follow the director-frequency and centreline requirements on the main procedure page.
