Elements and Performance Criteria
- Determine minima applicable for visual circling for specified instrument approach
- Conduct visual circling procedure following instrument approach, using appropriate visual cues
- Circling procedures are planned and briefed in relation to the position of the runway relative to the aircraft as it will appear to the pilot when approaching minima
- Circling approach is conducted in accordance with AIP
- Aircraft is controlled and maintained within altitude limitations by reference to instruments
- Aircraft position is controlled and maintained using visual cues
- Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain
- Conduct missed approach from visual circling
- Conditions requiring a missed approach are recognised and missed approach is initiated
- Aircraft is manoeuvred to Missed Approach Point (MAPt) and a missed approach procedure is conducted in accordance with the applicable instrument approach chart
- Obstacle clearance in IMC/simulated IMC is maintained
