Which doesn't mean that every real life circling approach happens with the weather at the minimums.
Seems entirely reasonable to me.

...they use the autopilot as much as possible even to flying CAVOK circuits on autopilot as long as they disconnect the autopilot by 100 feet. These are the airline captains of the future brought up on a diet of fear of hand flying.
Definitely a step in the wrong direction, from my perspective.
