Procedures for performing a circling approach/

missed approach

Circling Approach 2.9.5.4.1

NOTE: Circling minimums are for the

runway approach flown, not to the landing

runway.

Published circling minimums provide

obstacle clearance when pilots remain

within the protected area

Remain at or above circling minimums

until the aircraft is in a position to

descend to a landing on the intended

runway using

(1) Normal rate of descent

(2) Normal maneuvers

Basic rules

(1) Maneuver the shortest path to the

base or downwind leg, as

appropriate, considering existing

WX conditions

NOTE: There is no restriction

from passing over the airport or

other runways.

(2) Circling maneuvers may be made

while VFR or other flying is in

progress at the airport

NOTE: Standard left turns or

specific instruction from the

controller for maneuvering must be

considered when circling to land.
