Folks - even if 411A doesn't know his own circling area
Ahhh, but 411A does, because...we use the TERPS criteria in our ops specs, which if you recall, are more restrictive than PANSOPS.
TERPS is...two statute miles, for a category D aircraft, such as we operate, at 600aal, or charted, whichever is higher.

In any case, it is simply...'can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen' as Harry Truman used to say.
Can't circle, or...not properly trained to do so in your highly automated aircraft, better find a nice comfy ILS (or, if you are approved, VNAV/WAAS approach) to your desired landing runway.
Leave the circling to the pros that know how to do it properly.
