I did not mention parallel runways, but in VFR the
bottom-line is you can do almost anything as long as it is
safe and doesn't cause a collision hazard.

| Have all your lights ON.

| Use two safety pilots who can see well.

| | Is there any reason, or regulation, that states that
a
| pilot, flying
| | VFR, is prohibited in flying a GPS approach to an
| uncontrolled field
| | (assuming VFR conditions at the field), or must the
| pilot fly the

| |
