Hello Hadi,
The restriction is enforced on jetliners - not on G/A aircraft.
It is impossible for IYP (or even a real pilot) to land a jetliner on
a runway with an altitude 100 feet above sea level, being 18,000 feet
on base. It's completely insane. If you are 12 miles from the
airport, and you're not down to an altitude of less than 5,000 feet,
you'll never make a landing in a B738. There's no need to execute a
visual approach 40-miles from the airport unless you're flying VFR. A
commercial aircraft never flies VFR.... they always fly IFR. Thus, it
is the responsibility of ATC to get you onto base at a suitable altitude.
I hope this clarifies the situation and reasoning behind the changes.
Regards,
Robert

oh god... what's up with itsyourplane's new visual approach
Hello,
well, i'm totally sorry if this sounds like a complaint, but i
can't understand the restriction on the visual approach that has
been recently added to
IYP.
In some parts of the world, the altitude of runway even reaches
4000 feet (take tehran for example), and the mountains and
buildings around the area makes
it impossible to descend to 5000 feet first then execute the
visual approach.
taking a come fly with me session for example, i even had to
execute the visual approach when i was 40 miles out from the
airport, so while we were
approaching the entry point i had to gradually decrease my altitude.
the new ristriction makes this situation impossible, and you can't
literally land without crossing the airport for several time to
get into the required
altitude.

Hadi
