- Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 1. Services Available to Pilots › 4-1-18. Terminal Radar Services for VFR Aircraft
Traffic information is provided on a workload permitting basis. Standard radar separation between VFR or between VFR and IFR aircraft is not provided. (a) Pilots of arriving VFR aircraft should initiate radio contact on the publicized frequency with approach control ... when approximately 25 miles from the airport at which sequencing services are being provided. On initial contact by VFR aircraft, approach control will assume that sequencing service is requested. After radar contact is established, the pilot may use pilot navigation…

same setting is required on two separate devices (such as computers, flight instruments, or altimeters). 4. Checklist items that are critical in the before-landing phase vary with the type aircraft involved. The landing gear and flaps are critical items ... checklist should not be depended upon to initiate a change in aircraft configuration. Operators should key aircraft configuration changes to specific operational events (e.g., direct the landing gear to be extended at glide slope intercept). For any change in configuration…
