Visual separation between A380/AN225 aircraft is:

Visual separation between the A380 and AN225 aircraft is not approved due to their unique operational characteristics. Both aircraft have significant size and wake turbulence considerations that can impact their flight behavior and separation requirements.

The A380 and AN225, being among the largest commercial and cargo aircraft, generate considerable wake turbulence, which can potentially affect other aircraft within their vicinity. The wake turbulence can create hazardous conditions, especially in the landing and takeoff phases. Therefore, air traffic control guidelines emphasize maintaining standard separation protocols, rather than relying on visual separation, to ensure safe spacing and prevent potential encounters with wake turbulence.

In contrast, visual separation involves pilots and controllers using visual references to maintain safe distances, which can lead to complications when dealing with very large aircraft like the A380 and AN225. Their operational parameters necessitate adherence to stricter separation guidelines to ensure safety in operations.
