Lucy’s Logbook: Circle with ease using Garmin FliteCharts
Beginning May 2, 2013, the FAA will begin
publishing new circling minimums on the U.S. Terminal Procedures instrument
approach charts. During circle-to-land operations, pilots are given a specific
radius of protected airspace around the runway threshold, which is based on the
aircraft approach category. This block of airspace is designed to allow the
pilot to make an approach to one runway and safely maneuver to align the
aircraft with the landing runway. Further, this protected area also offers 300
feet of obstacle clearance at the circling minimum descent altitude (MDA)
The newer circling minimums will be identifiable
by an ‘Inverse C’ icon, which will be located in the circling minima box. To
ensure you are flying with the most up to date procedures, you may download the
latest approach charts from our flyGarmin website. Even though these changes do
not go into effect until tomorrow, the option to download the latest version of
FliteCharts with the notated circle to land changes is available today!
