My equiptment is A320, i got a fail on circle to land, not by being high or not stabilised. I got a fail by just putting/entering in the mcdu perf page the mda of the ILS instead of the circle to land minima. Nonetheless, I still levelled off at the circle to land minima, followed the procedures and timimg and stabilised even before turning final, aligned and on glide. My mistake is, my understanding for the circle to land which is breaking off from an instrument approach. Thats why ive inserted the ILS mda in the mcdu perf page. I did not violate anything, leveled off at the right altitude(circle to land altitude), timiming, stabilised and on glide. But still my instructor gave me a fail for that skill, because of just putting the ILS mda in d mcdu perf page. Instead of the circling minima to be placed in d mcdu.
a litlle petty dont u think?
Anybody had the same situation? Any refine procedure regarding the circle to land? Im getting confused. Even i placed the circle to land mimina, im in auto pilot the plane would still be breaking through that altitude. Thats why the books state to level of at the circle to land minima manually(push v/s to level off) or.... I may be wrong.
