Was discussing this with a buddy who is familiar with the airport.
Circling at night is prohibited.
Crew flew the GPS17 then cancelled IFR to “maneuver” for runway 27 which is the longer one.
LOC27 requires a 7(!) degree descent angle from 2500’ 3NM from the threshold with rapidly rising terrain.
From what I under this was their home airport where the plane was based.
I’ve never flown a Lear but it’s my understanding from people that have flown the -35 that you need lots of power when cranking and banking in landing configuration.
