3x AAL' works great, correct for wind though e.g. +/- 1 second for HW/TW.

Be careful your chart shows circling minima for JAR OPS or Standard, not TERPS as these are less as our brethren in US will acknowledge.

This is why using the JAR OPS the circling manoeuvre is at a higher speed for the same category of aircraft as in the FAA. You will find when using TERPS charts to stay within its protected area you need to fly fully configured, whereas in JAR OPS charts we can fly gear-down on downwind leg and configure final landing flap in base turn.
