Circle To Land Approach Explained By an Airline Captain!
You should fly the Circle to land when there is not an Instrument Approach Available for your landing Runway.
The Circle to land is the visual segment of an Instrument Approach that allows you to position your aircraft for landing on a runway without an instrument approach.
There are mainly two types of circle-to-land procedures, the Circle to land with prescribed tracks and the circle to land without prescribed tracks.
The difference is that the circling with prescribed tracks you have to follow the route indicated on the Approach chart, while on a non-prescribed track Circle to land approach procedure you position yourself as you wish as long as you stay above the MDA/H, stay within the protected area, and you keep the required visual references in sight at all times.

#PILOTCLIMB #CIRCLETOLAND
Amazing Explanation Captain as always. I wish you can do a video on the flight sim regarding to the application of it too! Have a good day!
Many thanks for your support!! I will do a video about that soon!! Stay tuned!
great vid thanks. snazzy looking logo on your plane!
Hey Rpbert! You are very welcome! The plane looks Great!! Happy New Year!!
Captain, excellent explanation of circle to land. Question: as we come down for a minimum dissent altitude based on our category that we’re flying. We make a move at a 45° angle to the right which is the east side of the course within the protected area and we have all of our elements present to perform the circle to the land as we’re coming aroundto the base and then the final. Are we in fact now flying localizer back course?
Great n excellent last video in 2021 Capt Gabriele... Thank you.... 👍👍... I wish you a Happy Prosperous and Succesful New Year 2022...All the Best and See you and your New Videos next year 2022....thanks a lot Capt Gabriele... Gracia... 👍👍🙏
Many thanks for your great support throughout this Year! I wish you and your family a great 2022!
Thank you !
You are very welcome!
Very good explanation; thank you (circle to land: keep one eye on the airspeed indicator).
You are very welcome!! I'm glad you like it!! HAPPY NEW YEAR
@@PILOTCLIMB Grazie, anche tu.
Cool... Thanks capt 🤙
You are very welcome! Thanks for the comment
Hi What is source of info about protected area radii? According to JAM for cat C is 1.7nm
The protected areas for circling approaches now use a connection of arcs from the end of each runway, as opposed to the fixed-radius distances that were used before. And the protected areas now account for the impact of wind on a circle, bank angle limits, and higher true airspeeds at high-altitude airports. So overall, they give you a higher margin of safety. So how do you know if your approach has these new expanded circling minimums? You'll see it in the circling minimums line - it's a black box with a "C" in the middle.
The protected areas are standard (unless indicated otherwise)... So if you use the correct minimum, depending on the aircraft category, you know your protected area.
Hello Captain, can please do a video to explain Operator Proficiency Check & License Proficiency Check. Thanks
I'll take your suggestion into consideration for a future content
Excellent video. Thanks. I understand that the point where you can start the descent was at the coast line but what is your reference at "Point C"?
Hey, you are very welcome!! Point C is when you are established on final visually, the only restriction is 870 feet at that point, you should not fly lower...
@@PILOTCLIMB Makes sense. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for your great videos captain, at 14:55 you called the final approach point for POINT C, is it FAP or FAF ? If it is not a precision approach, can we call a fix as a FAP? Thank you in advance !
If the Maltese cross was indicated in the chart that means that was a FAF...
Thank you so much for this art x) I have a question though, if I’m doing a go-around during a circle approach I press TO/GA then I should not climb above the MDA till intercepting the Missed Approach Procedure? What if Im on final and I’ve already set the Missed Approach Altitude on the MCP, I should reset it then to the MDA after pressing TO/GA and all while doing the go-around procedure?
No, you simply check the altitude on the altimeter while climbing
@@PILOTCLIMB okay I check the altitude on the altimeter then when I reach the MDA I press ALT HOLD? what should I do not to exceed the MDA before intercepting the Missed Approach Procedure when approaching the MDA? Or simply level off when reaching the MDA if it’s a Manual or F/D go-around?
Interessante, bravo e complimenti. una domanda , ma quando riduci la velocità a 175 kt, devi abbassare i flaps ?.. Grazie se hai tempo per la risposta. Auguri per il 2023.
Salve Franco, grazie per il tuo supporto! Si, devi estrarre i flaps altrimenti potresti produrre lo stallo, dipendentemente dal peso dell'aereo. Auguroni!
Hi Gabrielle, how we can know the radius of the protected aerea? Where we find it?
Hey, check the Easa Regulations...
I think you forgot to speak about the configuration. …as per your airline of course .
Hey, thanks for watching!! The next video will be on that.. stay tuned
