9G and 411A, Could you describe that actual technique you TERPS guys use to do a circling approach? For example, when do you roll out on final ie distance from threshold and altitude, what is your downwind spacing and at what point/time do you commence the base turn and bank angle during the turn?
It seems to me that a TERPS Cat C or Cat D cannot remain in the circling area and get stabilised by even 400ft AGL without exceeding 30° AOB around the base turn, but I'm always learning.
On the other hand, PANS OPS' 4.2nm circling area is quite comfortable to stay "in". Maintaining the threshold environment in sight with 4km vis is another matter...
Back to the thread topic, for the 717:
When flying an ILS approach and circling to land, set both BARO minimums to the CIRCLE-TO-LAND MDA. After established on the ILS localizer and prior to AUTOLAND/DUAL/SINGLE LAND annunciation, preselect the FCP altitude to the same MDA value. After glidepath capture, the airplane will descend to the MDA and the FMA will read APPR ONLY. At the MDA, the FMA and flight guidance will change to HEADING HOLD and ALTITUDE HOLD. Maneuvering can then be accomplished with heading or track mode.
Auto leveloff at the MDA on the ILS. Nice.
