Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine minima applicable for visual circling for specified instrument approach
   • Requirement to conduct a circling approach in accordance with aeronautical information publication (AIP) is determined
2. Ceiling and visibility minima are determined for circling approach appropriate for instrument approach procedure and category of aircraft being used in accordance with applicable instrument approach charts
3. Conduct visual circling procedure following instrument approach, using appropriate visual cues
   • Circling procedures are planned and briefed in relation to runway position relative to aircraft as it will appear to pilot when approaching minima
4. Circling approach is conducted in accordance with AIP
5. Aircraft is controlled and maintained within altitude limitations by reference to instruments
6. Aircraft position is controlled and maintained using visual cues
7. Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain
8. Conduct missed approach from visual circling
   • Conditions requiring a missed approach are recognised and missed approach procedure is initiated
9. Aircraft is manoeuvred to missed approach point (MAPt) and a missed approach procedure is conducted in accordance with applicable instrument approach chart
10. Obstacle clearance in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) is maintained

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
