According to my (a little old like me) charts, the 'Circling' chart (04R) would appear to be actually a 'cloudbreak' and has a restriction on nothing west of 04L and although you could easily land 'straight in' on 04L from the 'Circling 04R' you cannot find an approach for that. I have never understood the reason for naming it that way.

The ILS and V/D 04L do in fact have a circle (with a higher minimum than the circle 04R) and again to the east of 04L only, so as I read it you CAN circle off 04L from either an ILS or V/D 04L but NOT from the 'CIRCLING' approach '04R' - crazy - no? I just think something got lost in the translation from Egyptian. You can see why they don't allow circling left of the field (resists comment on "xxxx" and Terps)
