This one is probably for aterpster or FlightPathOBN.
Was flying into KTOA (Torrence) in L.A. the other day, ILS RWY 29R with ceiling around 1000 ft and easterly wind so it was a circle to RWY 11L. No NOTAM:s for the aerodrome but ATIS reported a crane 400 ft AGL half a mile something north of the field. The circle MDH is just 517 ft according to
this plate
When I became visual and saw the crane, it really was tall. And close to the runway, circled outside of the crane. No idea if it was lit, still daylight. So my question is, shouldn't this crane affect the circling MDA? Very common to see FDC NOTAM:s with raised minimums due to temporary cranes. Why wasn't this one mentioned? Seemed like a quite a hazard to me.
Any ideas?
