In order to keep our semantics correct a contact approach and a visual
approach are two different approaches used in different circumstances. See
the AIM for a description of each -- very easy to confuse the two.

Well, Glen, I hadn't thought about that. Maybe a student for the IFR
rating could go fly with the examiner with only an approach-certified
GPS on board for nav, and shoot a GPS approach, a PAR approach to a
military airport, and a contact visual approach in VMC and walk away
with his ticket. I bet that's never been done, though. It seems to
violate the spirit of the thing, somehow
