Can visual approaches be conducted at airports lacking weather reporting capabilities?

Visual approaches can indeed be conducted at airports that do not have weather reporting capabilities. A visual approach allows pilots to approach an airport and land while navigating visually, relying on their ability to see the runway and surrounding environment rather than solely depending on instrument approaches or published procedures.

For this to happen safely, pilots must be able to maintain visual reference to the ground and have adequate visibility conditions that meet the minimums set for visual approaches. While conducting a visual approach may not be ideal in low visibility scenarios, it is permissible if the necessary visual references are available, even if the airport lacks official weather reporting.

It is important to note that, typically, pilots should ensure they have enough situational awareness and are in compliance with any Air Traffic Control (ATC) instructions when undertaking a visual approach. The fact that weather information is unavailable does not inherently restrict the ability to conduct a visual approach, provided that the pilot is confident in their visual references and overall situational awareness.
