Since we know nothing about 'quarefellah' it is worth cautioning him/?her? that Terps allow only 1.7nm from the end of all runways for their minima as opposed to 4.2nm for PansOps.
China Airlines learned that the hard way in Korea a few years ago.

The TERPs circling criteria are absurd and have been held in disdain by all safety experts for years. Arguments have been made before the FAA for improved criteria.

Finally, the FAA did approve greatly improved circling criteria in Change 21 to TERPs but unending FAA politics are keeping those changes from being published.
