DeltaSix,

It seems to be more a case of which approach has a circling VIS minima which is actually higher than the straight in VIS minima? I cannot find one for a CAT A & B aircraft. This was pointed out to me by an old crusty ATO on a renewal, he caught out an FOI who did not realise this.

Some examples-

Coffs Harbour VOR, RWY 03.
Straight in=4.2
Circling=2.4

Goondiwindi NDB, RWY 04
Straight in=3.3
Circling=2.4

Halls Creek RNAV, RWY 22
Straight in=3.5
Circling=2.4

Apart from ILS's.
