I think you guys are being a bit harsh. Precisely what Dadanawa is doing will equip him well for visual circling. CS, you had better work out your expected turn radius beforehand: too close and you...

You need to work backwards from when you have to be Stable ie on-slope (3°) at 500(?)ft. That will define where you roll out of the base turn, then work back to the base turn start point, then the...

I haven't checked your numbers but... the base turn time of 16" is too close. That would roll you out on Final at 200ft-ish. Vilas says Airbus base turn is at 30"... I think even that's a tad close....

You're not wrong. The old terps was just ridiculous for circling. Good for a C150, not a jet (although 411A argued til he was blue in the face is was no problem). The new rules aren't much better,...

Agreed: I'm not suggesting flying it in NAV. 3.4nm is the distance to the Fix: equates to 2nm spacing on DW and rolling out on final around 2nm/600ft.

Not until steady on final commencing descent on the PAPI. We were approved for 400ft, then it changed to 500ft to "fit in" with everybody else, and now visual circling is not permitted as we have...

Vilas, PANS Ops. As I said, our CAA allows descent below MDA to terrain clearance in daylight prior to final descent.

Still confused about how far Downwind Airbus says. You could turn off the 45°...

Regulator's rules: we can descend to the minimum terrain clearance altitude in daylight.

Precisely as I said, Vilas. You can be at an MDA of 1500ft or 500ft, or have gone down to 400ft (PANs ops Cat C terrain clearance). It doesn't matter. Turn on time, corrected for wind. Use a Fix if...

I reckon this is nonense and have done for years. What does it matter how high you are going abeam the threshold? The critical issue is going Downwind the correct distance so you will roll out of...
