I wasn't sure if i was allowed to continued this approach? What are the ceiling minimums or are they advisory?
- you can fly a visual circuit at any height you like, subject to airport restrictions, company restrictions, noise and obstacles. Nothing to stop you flying at 200' (or less) if all else is ok. NB 'Circling' is different and has prescribed minima. Mind you, 1500' with a 1000' cloudbase - hmm! Bold.
Am i right in thinking, you don't need a DA/MDA for a visual traffic approach?
- yes. MSA is a good one to start with as a general rule until you are certain where you are.

Did you find any approaches for 13 in PMDG?

'Stable' in most company's is latest at 500' but Jw's 4nm point is a good place to 'settle down' at, equating to around 1200', and 1000' is a good place to be gear/land flap and power unless you are feeling frisky.
