We have been briefed that CMF ATC may well 'expect' you to turn left into the visual circuit in the event of a go around on rwy 18. Suffice to say we have a procedure to go around off an approach to rwy18 into a visual circuit. You don't. Yes we do practice it in the sim.
Just be aware that if you go around off rwy18 there may well be someone coming down the ILS behind you and that needs some consideration, especially at night and/or in cloud. I am not happy with that and hence my call to our Fleet Office.
why would you not conduct a circle to land onto 18 at night at circling minima?
Never said I wouldn't, you have misinterpreted a visual circuit (from below circling minima) for a circling manoeuvre (started from at/above circling minima).
The g/a for engine failure you talk of - are you saying your SOP is to fly a visual circuit?
No.
I think I will leave it there as we are straying well off topic now.
