Circling

Forgive me to interrupt with my old brain,

my last circling approach happened some 15 years ago, everything mentioned feels familiar, except two things wich i remember different.

We only had to keep an identifiable part of the airport in sight during circling, not the runway itself. And i think TERPs is still the same.

The reported visibility to allow the beginning of a circling approach and to get a clearance for it was measured RVR. To fly the approach we used inflight visibility and airport environment in sight.

So i dont understand the discussion, that the measured RVR restricts the published circling area. By the way, when was the last time that RVR coresponded with inflight vis?
