Circling approaches are dangerous... and shouldnt be done in any pax aircraft....
Thanks for that gem...

Crossing the road is also dangerous when not treated with respect, should we stop that too?

What airport, duty runway and inbound track are we talking about here?
I am tipping Coffs...

On a serious note, why not maouvere to intercept final outside the FAF? This can be done on many DME/GPS arrivals in Oz! If you can't get runway aligned then I see nothing wrong with using an increased minima, especially in a transport category aircraft!
