Are you saying that the AIM is telling us to flounder around in the clouds until we make contact with a Center frequency rather than follow the missed approach for the runway we were going to land visually on?
No, what I am telling you is that AIM is telling you to not accept a visual if you are going to flounder around in the clouds.Originally Posted by NoyGonnaDoIt
Aside from that, let's try a scenario: You accept a visual approach in marginal conditions (why could be it's own thread but it's pretty much a given for this one). The airport is in the boonies, non-towered, well below radar coverage, and even below communications coverage.

YOUR scenario is how YOU might choose to fly. Personally, if the conditions are marginal, I will never accept a visual. I have in the past, and no doubt will in the future, told ATC that I am unable to accept the visual.
The question is not about non-tower ops. The questions is about whether it is appropriate to fly an IFR MAP after a Visual approach.
