Circling approach. An extension of an instrument approach procedure which provides for visual circling of the
aerodrome prior to landing.
How are circling and a sidestep linguistically or mathematically the same?
Two 30/45 degree heading changes to a parallel course are not part of a circling procedure.
Unless you’re going to argue the turn radius is part of the circling.
FAA - land is only pseudo ICAO anyway.
Call the FSDO that has jurisdiction over that airport or otherwise write FAA Council for a ruling/ interpretation.
* how about I drift laterally without a heading change
