Here's an interesting scenario seeing as we are talking about IFR stuff.
Ponder over this.
You have been cleared at night to make a visual approach into EN rwy 17 from 2000ft coming in from the Nth East (we get this all the time) This is with the requirement to not do so until established within the circling area (say 3nm, forget the 2.66 for Cat B that's rubbish) or on the EN rwy 17 PAPI. okay that's B&W. But seeing as when at or around 2000ft & still outside of the circling area & not vis with EN's rwy 17 PAPI you are actually visual with ML's rwy 27. So would it be fair to say that you could decend blw 2000ft even though outside EN's requirements whilst observing ML's PAPI on rwy 27 until you are within the EN circling area & or are visual with EN's rwy 17 PAPI then change from one to the other & still be within the legal requiremnts? Sounds complex I know but draw it out if need be

Should be interesting to see what other think about the above
And sorry for hijacking the thread a little but it's all part of the same thing & we can all learn:-)
