FYI most US airlines use circling minimums of at least 1000' and 3 miles....
Thus, they escape any training on circle to land. And, if the circling MDA is higher than 1,000 feet they use the MDA, again without any training as to the tiny TERPs protected airspace or how close beneath them obstacles may exist.
