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 />
