Circling Approach; Holding - ATP Electronics Piper Archer Training Supplement

Circling Approach

When conducting a circling approach (precision or non-precision), execute the
approach with the same speeds at flaps 10° to the published circling minimums.
Maintain circling minimums at 80 KIAS, until in a position from which a normal
landing may be made.
When descending from MDA (circling minimums), select flaps 25° and slow to 70
KIAS. Slow to 66 KIAS when landing is assured.
