C-C and A4 - you are risking 'frightening the horses' here with your tales of what dreadful tasks PNF would have to do to circle onto 12.

1) If you can land on a wet 30 with a tailwind you will be ok on a wet 12 with a headwind - therefore no re-computations

2) You do NOT need anything re-programming - a simple fix on the field and 2 mile circle if you must will more than do for a VISUAL manoeuvre - plus the 737 at least has a 'built-in' dotted white runway c/line in BOTH directions
3) G/A + missed does NOT change!!!! Do not confuse the great unwashed please.

If the P2 was ex mil and knew Islamabad, is it possible the mil had some sort of 'in house' proc for 12?
