I'm not sure why JAN approach was giving you landing instructions.
Shouldn't that be left for the HKS tower, after approach control had
sequenced you in for the approach?



Not accoring to 7110.85P:

4-8-6. CIRCLING APPROACH

a. Circling approach instructions may only be given for aircraft
landing at airports with operational control towers.

b. Include in the approach clearance instructions to circle to the
runway in use if landing will be made on a runway other than that
aligned with the direction of instrument approach. When the direction of
the circling maneuver in relation to the airport/runway is required,
state the direction (eight cardinal compass points) and specify a left
or right base/downwind leg as appropriate.
