Climbing turn towards landing runway while remaining within the circling area. Immediately followed by interception and execution of the missed approach procedure. Comply with the intent of the missed approach procedure/instructions. FAA vs. ICAO procedures: Circling Approach Obstacle Clearance Protected Area: FAA - The protected area is much smaller in the USA (1.3 A, 1.5 B, 1.7 mile radius for approach category C and 2.3 mile radius for category D), this is well below ICAO requirements, and makes the circling approach even more difficult and dangerous. ICAO -Requires a much larger area. Circling area radius from threshold in ICAO (DOC 8168 OPS/ page 3-26): A: 1.68nm; B: 2.66nm; C: 4.20nm; D: 5.28nm; E: 6.94nm. The maximum speeds are A: 100KIAS; B: 135KIAS; C: 180KIAS; D:205KIAS; E: 240KIAS. The radius is the distance from the threshold used to determine the circling area. Emergency Voice Reports (souls/emergency/intentions) – be afraid to tell the person inquiring to to know is worth sacrificing your aviating and Don’t “standby”. Nothing they want navigating. Be directive for what you need and what you are planning on doing. Call fuel in minutes remaining. Do quick per hour per side and you have 1000 pounds per well of flight time. math. If you’re burning 250 pounds side… that’s 4 hours Adjust for you having a transfer pump inop., etc. Partial Panel – Initially, troubleshoot (breakers and god box) and transfer controls to co-pilot if the system failure only affects your side. Remain VMC and land if this is an option. Secure the big 5 (windshield wipers, windshield heat, AC, heater, vent blower) and brief wet compass characteristics. Advise controller and request a no-gyro approach. Turn at standard rate turns until advised not to. Initiate turns immediately and stop them immediately as instructed.
