Cool

Small variations in my company/aircraft:

We have two breakoff possible:
45¡ with 35 seconds
30¡ with 50 seconds
Time after "abeam threshold" 30 seconds, wind correction -1 second/2 knots tailwind (no headwind normally as mainreason for circling is to have the wind on the nose when on final).
Tolerance on MDA or circling altitude +0/-100

All in all a very enjoyable and challenging manoeuvre to fly (try GEN at nite with northely winds)
