#thecorporatepilotdad #PMDG #DC6 #VORApproach #IFR #RealPilot #IFR #Navigraph #CircleToLand #ProfessionalPilot Help support the channel:    / @thecorporatepilotdad   Professional pilot using REAL techniques and procedures to do a VOR approach that will with a circle to land maneuver in Rifle, Colorado (KRIL) in the PMDG DC-6 for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Technicalities of a circling approach are covered by figured the speed to be flown, approach categories, circling minima, and expanded circling minimums are covered as well. Correction: Every airplane’s approach category is based on Vref or stall speed at max landing weight multiplied by 1.3. Regardless of a straight-in or circling approach, the category at max landing weight is used even if the aircraft is at a lighter weight that puts the aircraft into a lower category based on speed at that lower weight. If a higher speed is used because of gust factor, flap configuration, overweight landing in an emergency, etc. and the aircraft is in a higher category, the minimums for the new category should be used. Example: Ref speed is 118 which is Category B (91-120 knots - FAA). A lower flap setting is used and 15 knots is added to ref. The new Vref is 133 knots which now puts the airplane into Category C (121-140 knots - FAA) and is recommended for use.
