My facility is discussing wether or not you can for example: tell an aircraft on an ILS approach to maintain visual seperation from A. The preceeding aircraft on an ils. Or B. Some random vfr/ifr target they are going to over fly.
I feel like you can. Just like any other application of visual. A little weird in A. Because you can just clear for the visual approach. But say they needed the ils for whatever reason.
The argument against is that if they are on an approach they arent able to maneuver to avoid the aircraft. Which seams silly to me. They can maneuver. It may create an unstable approach. But they can turn or climb or whatever if it comes to that.
Can anyone provide any reference that specifically says yes or no you can do this?
