Do you train for circling approaches at your airline? If so what are the restrictions?
Good evening Bluestar51,
We not only train for circling approaches, we
do circling approaches, at night, if necessary, at the lowest charted minima (600 agl) for our type (category D, large heavy jet).
No problems encountered, to date.
And, no problems expected.
Why, you might ask?
Because...we train our pilots to
proficiency and I see to it that this is accomplished.
No excuses.
We're oldtimers here..and we know how to
do the job.
We also fly the Lockheed L1011...an old time airliner that is second to none for CATIII ops, when needed
Ahhhh, Lockheed
