Yep.
- b. EN ROUTE. You may use visual separation in conjunction with visual approach procedures. Visual separation may also be used up to but not including FL 180 when the following conditions are met:
- 1. Direct communication is maintained with one of the aircraft involved and there is an ability to communicate with the other.
- 2. A pilot sees another aircraft and is instructed to maintain visual separation from it as follows:
(a) Tell the pilot about the other aircraft including position, direction and unless it is obvious, the other aircraft's intentions.
(b) Obtain acknowledgment from the pilot that the other aircraft is in sight.
(c) Instruct the pilot to maintain visual separation from that aircraft.
(d) Advise the pilot if the radar targets appear likely to converge.
(e) If the aircraft are on converging courses, inform the other aircraft of the traffic and that visual separation is being applied.
(f) Advise the pilots if either aircraft is a heavy.
(g) Traffic advisories and wake turbulence cautionary advisories shall be issued in accordance with
para 2-1-20, Wake Turbulence Cautionary Advisories, and
para 2-1-21, Traffic Advisories.
And yes, we should both absolutely be doing 'fam flights' with each other. It would make life much easier.
