Another question with regard to circling manoevre and protected areas.
Pans Ops says you must stay within 4.2nm of the thresholds of all runways. Does that mean that the controlling authority must ensure this area is kept clear from other aircraft?
For example, Pisa, VOR DME Approach 04 Left, circle to land R22 Right, upon breaking right for a left hand downwind, tower cleared a company aircraft to take off on R22 Right. I've no problem with this as we were downwind at this point and obviously fully visual with airfield and terrain.
My only problem would be if, as we broke right decided to go around, and the go around procedure (for argument sakes) was straight ahead on 04 Left, then we could potentially be in conflict with the a/c taking off
Is the controller correct to allow the aircraft to take off?
