Night Circling to ALAs
A question that I have always wondered: CAAPs allow ALA owners to use their dirt strip at night, with suggested minimum lighting requirements.
However, there is no mention of any circling altitudes etc or how they legally can be designed to allow for a night arrival.
So, can an owner or pilot legally design a night circling area (for night in VMC obviously) to enable arrival to a dirt strip by night, meeting the minimum obstacle clearance requirements for their aircraft type?
If not, how are you supposed to establish yourself on finals to an ALA by night considering no PAPI, no Instrument Approach, no published circling?
I have looked at CAAPs, CAOs, and AIP with no luck.
