When the runway you want to land on doesn't have a usable approach you may need to do a circle to land. Circling approaches are some of the most difficult tasks you can do as an instrument pilot, so it's important to learn the basics of setting them up, what kind of protections you get from obstacles, and how to go missed from a circling approach, especially if you're already past the missed approach point!

  • Alright, I’ve understood more in these videos than the last few months in my other ground school program. Seriously love the teaching style. Watching all the IFR playlist. Saved it to my Library to watch again and again.

    You’re a talented teacher and I will be introducing all my students to your channel. Hopefully word gets around quick and your channel explodes!

    Great description. As a long time corporate pilot, remember that once you have the landing runway in sight, or one of the required elements of the runway, you are on a visual approach once you leave MDA. Nobody likes a circling approach, but sometimes they are less miserable if you are just using them to get underneath a 3000 foot cloud deck to get in the pattern. At night, at minimums, you are setting up the elements for an accident chain, where you descend deeper and deeper into a bad idea.
