"Hilton" wrote in message ink.net... This was (one of) your (almost) fatal mistake. At 2460' and 3 miles out, you probably were not at 766 AGL. The 766 you see is NOT AGL as you would first think. The 766' is the altitude above the airport elevation (for a circling approach). Note that 1694 + 766 = 2460. It's probable that a lot of instrument pilots do not know this. In this case he was probably more than 766 AGL. The FAF IBAVE is right on the river, which is probably the lowest terrain nearby.
