Filing Flight Plan
I have a question in regard to visual approaches and I was hoping someone can clarify it for me. A few days ago we were returning to Base XXX and we were being vectored around from the West into a right downwind for Runway 27R. I was the PNF on the Right Seat and the PF was on the Left Seat. It was day time and the visibility was excellent. While on right downwind, I had full view of the runway, the PF because of the plane type and seat, did not but told me to tell ATC that we did to get clearance for a visual approach and we did. I noticed we had some wind from the North and it was blowing us into the runway. To avoid getting to close and end up with a tight turn, I suggested to the PF to let me fly the downwind, base and some of the final turn until he gets a good view of the runway so he can take the plane back for the landing. The PF almost flipped by my suggestion. Was I wrong to suggest this?
