Circling Approach in IRT?
Why was a circling approach included in the format of an IRT?
How can you be failed for overshooting a visual intercept?
I was under the impression that as long as you established on an approach track before descent then that was ok?
Did the candidate descend below circling minima?
Even the best simulators that I've been in are pretty unsuitable for visual work. The only thing that you can do in this area is to practice the 'numbers' of a circling approach and when the lights/runway appear in roughly the correct place - well, that's about it really.
I would be really interested to hear more informed comment..
