Sheeesh, that's a scary one - terrain >4000 above the threshold elevation within 3 DME! I see the min vis for the circling manoeuvre is 3000m, but I don't fancy flying it in that given that you have to have visual reference by 2 DME on the ILS to take up the prescribed track to the left.

Yes quite! Chambery is quite the most complicated (and scary) place I have flown into. The fact it needs a 4.5 degree ILS GS is one thing, but the rest of the procedures are a real handful.
So you've broken off left at 2 DME, flown a visual circuit and approached to the north, then gone around. As long as you stay visual a circuit to the right is fine. But if you lose visual reference downwind-
turn towards airfield
now what?- follow original 18 ILS go-around to south and fly loop before coming back overhead and back coursing localiser north, or
turn north from overhead and back course localiser north?
I can't remember from my notes!

But don't fly a R/W36 left circuit!
