Circling Approach

1. The document provides procedures for a circling approach to a runway, beginning with turning onto the downwind leg and aligning with the runway track at 2-4 NM out. 2. At the final approach fix, descent is made to the minimum descent altitude while maintaining the proper descent path and airspeed. 3. Once the normal glide path is confirmed, landing configuration is completed and the final circling maneuver is made to align with the runway for landing.

Recheck G/A Altitude
Ex: 3 x 1000ft = 30 sec ± 1 sec of HW or TW (MDA=1000ft)
NOTE 1: Numbers 1 – 4, correlated with FCOM procedure. *** In case of missed approach, always make a climbing turn
NOTE 2: Single engine procedures are the same except that flaps 25 with landing in the shortest direction towards the landing runway
gear down is used. PNF centers rudder trim at PF’s command prior to landing. Climb to the MDA or higher and accelerate when
appropriate.
