Bear in mind that the CIRCLING APPROACH is an extension of an instrument approach procedure which provides for visual circling of the aerodrome prior to landing.

7.4 MISSED APPROACH PROCEDURE WHILE CIRCLING

7.4.1


If visual reference is lost while circling to land from an instrument approach, the missed approach specified for that particular procedure
shall be followed. The transition from the visual (circling) manoeuvre to the missed approach should be initiated by a climbing turn, within the circling area, towards the landing runway, to return to the circling altitude or higher, immediately followed by interception and execution of the missed approach procedure. The indicated airspeed during these
manoeuvres shall not exceed the maximum indicated airspeed associated with visual manoeuvring.

7.4.2


The circling manoeuvre may be carried out in more than one direction. For this reason, different patterns are required to establish the aircraft
on the prescribed missed approach course depending on its position at the time visual reference is lost.

Hope this helps.
