And like I said, not ALL airlines train to fly the maneuver at the ACTUAL circling minima, only at what's "VFR" weather conditions, therefore the "VMC ONLY" stipulation.
Yeah, but there is a difference between VFR and VMC. That is my point. It should really say VFR ONLY so as to no insinuate that you can circle in IMC and hence the "VMC ONLY" limitation.
