Cleared for the ILS 16 or circle to land 34 question?

: 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? Dunno Jim, In my short IFR career, JAN approach has always given me landing instructions (letter of agreement?) Anytime I talk with HKS, they clear me to land, option or low approach. Allen |

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. |

Thanks, I knew I should have looked it up first. I have never received
landing instructions other than from a tower, but I see why from the rule. I haven't had to circle to land at a towered field other than on a circling-only approach. Approach Control has given me approach clearance, but left the circling instructions to the tower. The rule is slightly amgiuous, seems to be written on the assumption that the approach from which circling will commence is aligned with a runway, and may or may not include circling-only approaches arriving at 90 degrees to any runway. I will assume that it was meant to include those approaches also. On further thought, maybe I lied. Several years ago, I flew an ILS into KORL with a strong tailwind, circle to land on another runway, at night when the other ILS was OTS. I don't remember the exact sequence of events, but I think Orlando Approach (KMCO) sequenced me in and cleared me for the ILS, told me to expect to circle to land on the other runway, but the tower actually handled the circling. That was a harrowing experience, with all the turbulence, and trying to circle over the city and find runway lights and to follow one or two other aircraft that couldn't be seen amongst the lights. We certainly had to circle more than 1.3 nm from the runways, but I can't remember the altitude. I'm pretty sure it was above circling minimum. "Sam Spade" wrote in message ...

Stan, Approach needs to inform you if you are circling to another runway in order for you to determine which minimums to use. It would probably be to late to plan a "circling" maneuver if you weren't informed until handed off to tower. -- ghogue Posted at www.flight.org |

JAN approach wasn't giving him landing instructions, they were giving him circling instructions. Circling instructions are part of the approach clearance. |

If you would read the thread you would find out that was resolved several days ago. |
