I'd love to know where he thinks the circling area is 'printed on the chart'
'Tis quite simple, BOAC.
In the minima section of the Jeppesen approach chart, you will find the lowest minima to which circling is allowed, in our particular case, for our category D airplane, 600aal/2 miles is the lowest you will find.
Therefore, if our happless pilot decideds to go beyond the 2 mile limit during his/her circling maneuver, especially not in visual contact with the intended landing runway, possible grief awaits.
Hmmm, no wonder pilots have a problem with circling...they don't understand the consequesnces of it being done, incorrectly.
It simply is not possible for a Cat D airplane at max landing weight, and with adverse winds to remain within TERPs CTL protected airspace.
Yes, often times correct...this requires forethought prior to the intended circling maneuver.
unless there is a lot of practice and a whole lot of proficiency. That is my considered opinion; others can certainly disagree.
Agree, proficiency is the key to success.
