Visual approach in the flight plan
Selection of a base or downwind entry adds no additional legs to
the flight plan. However, to aid in situational awareness, the entry
is shown on the map using dashed lines that intercept the final
approach leg, as shown below:

When flying a visual approach, lateral deviations are provided to
the final approach course. Advisory vertical deviations are also
provided once the aircraft track is at most 90 degrees to the final
approach course. Therefore, on a downwind entry the VDI will
remain flagged until the aircraft completes the turn to base.
Visual approaches are activated exactly like instrument
approaches. However, the LSK legend will show “Activate
Visual” rather than “Activate Approach”, providing a further
reminder that a visual approach is in use.
