Circling Approach. ??
Recently on Fragrant Harbour someone mentioned that Cathay is considering banning circling approaches. Surely this has to be a deliberate distortion of the truth as it's the same as saying Cathay pilots are not up to circling approaches.
In days gone by it was mandatory to demonstrate the ability to circle and if you could not do it then the left seat was not for you. Circling is actually no more than a hands on numbers game so why even consider banning it ?
O.P.
