Circle To Land Approach Explained By an Airline Captain!

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!

Very good explanation; thank you (circle to land: keep one eye on the airspeed indicator).

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... 👍👍🙏

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.

Thank you !

great vid thanks. snazzy looking logo on your plane!

Cool... Thanks capt 🤙

Hello Captain, can please do a video to explain Operator Proficiency Check & License Proficiency Check. Thanks

Hi What is source of info about protected area radii? According to JAM for cat C is 1.7nm

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 !

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"?

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?

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.

Hi Gabrielle, how we can know the radius of the protected aerea? Where we find it?

A me è capitato a Peretola diverse volte.

I think you forgot to speak about the configuration. …as per your airline of course .
