Look at the RNAV (RNP) 'Y' to 16L or 16R at KRNO.
Don't think I can

It is, however, a 'guided' RNAV approach track starting from a position equivalent to a 'circling' downwind and with 'circling' track guidance on the RF turn. Can be FD hand flown or coupled.
- Perhaps I have misunderstood the way we are trying to go? I thought we were looking at an RNAV IMC flown pattern (with suitable ANP) around an airfield and down to a DH on a runway?

You don't have to call it a 'circling approach' if you don't want to, but it is...
- no, it cannot be called that or there will be utter confusion. Let's have a PPRune 'New Name' competition for this procedure.

Edit - thanks Zeffy - yes, that is getting there - IMC to around 500' on final.
