Q

What does Visual Manoeuvring (Circling) VM(c) in the vicinity of Aerodromes describe?

A

The visual phase of flight, after completing and instrument approach. Where and aircraft is manoeuvred into position for a landing in a runway which is suitably located for a straight in approach.

Q

What is the VM(c) Area?

A

Area in which obstacle clearance has been considered for aircraft manoeuvring visually before landing. Determined by drawing arcs centred on each runway thresholds and jointing arcs with tangent lines

Q

Where a sector within the VM(c) area contains obstacles that would make the OCH normally operationally unacceptable. It is permissible to eliminate this sector from the total VM(c) area, where the sector lies outside the Final and MAP. areas. Will contain 2 VM(c) OCHs:

1) whole area
2) the area excluding the excluding the eliminated sector
