The DME restrictions on the visual approach to 24R and 24L are to prevent pilots from descending below the class B into airspace where departures off Burke Lakefront Airport climb to 2,000.
SFO does the same thing.The DME restrictions on the visual approach to 24R and 24L are to prevent pilots from descending below the class B into airspace where departures off Burke Lakefront Airport climb to 2,000.
14 CFR 91.131(a)(2) Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, each person operating a large turbine engine-powered airplane to or from a primary airport for which a Class B airspace area is designated must operate at or above the designated floors of the Class B airspace area while within the lateral limits of that area.
Ok, this has really been bothering me for a while. Always when I go into Cleveland they issue a visual approach to 24R with a restriction, usually 6.5 DME at or above 3000 or 10 DME at or above 4000, also naturally there is usually a speed restriction too, but the one that really got me was going into Cleveland the other day I called a 757 in sight with hopes of getting the visual approach clearance. The approach controller comes back with maintain visual separation with the 757, cleared for the ILS runway 24R approach. I guess I just always thought an ILS wouldn't come with a visual separation restriction. So, my question is if you clear an aircraft for a visual what restrictions can controllers place?
