I'm sure Gene understands what you are saying, but for my benefit, could you elaborate a little on this statement? Why is this true? Cloud bases are seldom perfectly level. They are lower in some places than in others. If you get the airport in sight right at MDA, then it's likely that there will be areas where the cloud bases will be below MDA, and you'll probably fly through them as you circle. -- Regards, Stan "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
