The Jeppesen chart, 30 Nov 2007, shows it as a "circle to land" as the only option. This is standard, as any final approach track which is more than X degrees (30?) off the runway heading is called a circling procedure.

And you must be visual at the MAP which is at 1505ft QNH.

Which is exactly the same thing as you are saying.

Like the EAD plate, the Jepp plate also says you should cancel IFR by the MAP at the latest. So the actual landing is not made under IFR - a curious scheme! Not that it makes any difference in this case...

But why is the EAD plate dated 2003? The Jepp plate says the last change was a general procedure change, which could be anything.
