[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5031921, member: 77939"] True except the original clearance HAD a circle to land instruction. This complicated what would have been a routine straight in approach......the instrument approach was to one runway but that wasn't in use. He was to circle to another(that was being used) after completing the final approach. Fast, tight circles in a high performance airplane are fun in clear wide open skies.....not after being totally out of control and breaking out of the clouds.... The approach was sort of used to get him to the airport and close. Likely because the other runway in use doesn't have an IFR approach(guessing). Airplanes are asked to do all sorts of changes on approaches such as side stepping......say there are 2 parallel runways and one gets fouled for some reason.....ATC asks if or instructs for changes such as side stepping or even doing 360 turns for spacing.....happens all the time. This happens with spacing of faster and slower aircraft.....Piper Cub vs. 747 for example. [/QUOTE]
