Let's think about the weather conditions during circling.It is not visual maneuver when good vis and clouds so high.It is option for pilot when weather conditions are lower than for visual pattern,but tail wind component little bit greater then wind for straight in approach.On default You have 10 kts min or greater tailwind at point abeam threshold,ergo -1 sec,but I think that it's not so bad to just keep in mind it,but to perform base turn in according to fctm recommendation and You are at point with extra distance from point in calm conditions-You just have to decrease Your v/s , the same time pay more attention to circling radius for cat C,D planes
Safe flights
