AMC1 NCO.OP.210 Commencement and continuation of approach — aeroplanes and helicopters ED Decision 2022/012/R VISUAL REFERENCES (a) For a straight-in approach, at DH or MDH, at least one of the visual references specified below should be distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot: (1) elements of the approach lighting system; (2) the threshold; (3) the threshold markings; (4) the threshold lights; (5) the threshold identification lights; (6) the visual glide path indicator; (7) the touchdown zone (TDZ) or TDZ markings; (8) the TDZ lights; (9) FATO/runway edge lights; (10) for helicopter PinS approaches, the identification beacon light and visual ground reference; (11) for helicopter PinS approaches, the identifiable elements of the environment defined on the instrument chart; or (12) for helicopter PinS approaches with instructions to ‘proceed VFR’, sufficient visual cues to determine that the conditions for VFR are met. (b) For a circling approach, the required visual reference is the runway environment.
