Lantirn
The confusion is about approaches that have displaced LOC/ILS from RW centre line with a curved visual segment. Like the ILS at old Hong Kong airport or Canarsie approach at JFK. This is not circle to land approach but straight in approach with curved segment. Circling approach is when you fly a circuit to reposition. When the approach is defined as circling you cannot reposition to land straight in because you may have the landing RW in opposite direction.
