Your usual fine observations aside, as you well know some IAPs with
circling-only minimums are aligned exactly with a runway but don't have
straight-in minimums because of descent gradient requirements.


This ain't one of 'em.



They are set forth in 91.175 as you well know.


They? Hmmmm.... They, third-person plural pronoun, hmmmm...... I can find
only one reference to circle-to-land in FAR 91.175, and it doesn't apply
below the MDA.


§ 91.175 Takeoff and landing under IFR.

(e) Missed approach procedures. Each pilot operating an aircraft, except a
military aircraft of the United States, shall immediately execute an
appropriate missed approach procedure when either of the following
conditions exist:

(2) Whenever an identifiable part of the airport is not distinctly
visible
to the pilot during a circling maneuver at or above MDA, unless the
inability to see an identifiable part of the airport results only from a
normal bank of the aircraft during the circling approach.
