BOAC:
I guess Aterpster's chart pretty much rules out a circle with the existing weather. Anyone comment on why the vis requirement is so high?
If PANS-OPS is like TERPs in this respect, I suspect the rather high circling MDA brings up the circling vis. Attached is the ILS 12 (procedure in use by AAL). Note the high structure. That drives up the circling MDA. I suspect circling is not authorized on the inland side of the runway because of terrain or (more likely) enviornment.
