Hi everbody

I need some informations about circling approaches at night. I have some questions.

1- Is it possible to circling at night.
2- If possible what we need at the airport(which lights, nav. aids etc.)
3- Any difference between narrow rwys and standart or wider rwys for circling. Like you can circle to standart rwys but you can't to narrow ones etc.
4- Do you have any documents about above questions

Circle to land at night.
Yes, it is possible, and allowed.
Yes, we do it from time to time.
No particular problems experienced, with standard high intensity runway lighting installed.

You may want to check your OM-A, some operators do not allow this procedure at CAT B or C airports, some operators require PAPI or VASIS as well.
