T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION CHAPTER ELEVEN<br />
Circling Minimums:<br />
NOTE<br />
Because of obstacles near the airport, a portion of the circling area<br />
may be restricted by a procedural note (i.e., “Circling NA E of<br />
RWY 17–35”). It is the pilot’s responsibility to review any<br />
circling restrictions for the intended airport. These restrictions can<br />
be found in the Approach Plates, AP1, IFR Supplement or current<br />
NOTAMs.<br />
Published circling minimums provide a 300’ obstacle clearance when pilots remain within the<br />
appropriate area of protection (Figure 11-2).<br />
Missed Approach from a Circling Maneuver:<br />
Figure 11-2 Circling Approach Area<br />
If visual reference with the runway environment is lost while circling to land from an instrument<br />
approach (unless the inability to see an identifiable part of the airport results only from a normal<br />
bank of the aircraft during the circling approach), the Missed Approach specified for that<br />
particular procedure must be followed (unless an alternate Missed Approach procedure is<br />
specified by ATC).<br />
To get established on the prescribed Missed Approach course, the pilot should make an initial<br />
climbing turn toward the landing runway and continue the turn until he is established on the<br />
Missed Approach course. Because there are many variations to the circle–to–land maneuver,<br />
different patterns may be required to become established on the prescribed Missed Approach<br />
course (Figure 11-3).<br />
