Circle to land minimas
Hi,
Yesterday, i had a discussion with a captain and we would not agree on the circle to land minimas.
He was convinced that the circle to land minimas were linked to the runway we would land on. i.e. we were shooting the ILS 06 circle to land 24 and he pulled out the VOR 24 app plate to read the circle to land minimas.
And his point was that next to the circle to land minimas for each approach, it's written: Circling height based on rwy XX threshold elev of XXXX ft.
For example, for the ILS 06 circling minimas: based on rwy 06 threshold elev of XXX. Remplace ILS 06 and rwy 06 by VOR 24/rwy 24.
But it makes no sense to me, the circling minimas are linked to the approach we are shooting initially. So i'd read the minimums straight out of the original approach plate (i.e. ILS 06 in this case).
At the end, it didn't make any difference since the circling minimas
were exactly the same. (which i do understand why)
I looked up on the Jepp Away Manual and i couldn't find anything, does anyone have references to help me figure it out ?
Thanks
