Thanks for your reply Mr Hanky,
Do you get offered the viz STAR at night now or out via Leaky?
The night time Viz App minium altitude requirements are something along the lines of:
maintain an altitude of not less than the route segment LSALT/MSA etc OR
If being redar vectored operate not below the last asigned altitude.
Since the A/C is cleared via the STAR then it must adhere to the LSALT from POODL to KOUPA of 2100' till about 5 or so miles fom touchdown leaving it a little high. That combined with the usual tailwind means high rates of descent at night etc...
I cannot remember where you enter the circling area on the Star. I think its a little after KOUPA but not sure.
If it was under radar vectors then 1500 is the go till in the circling area
Im not sure if Im correct but thats my take on the situation
