SWA - Circle to land?

[GE CF34-3B1]

Question for Southwest Pilots:

Do you do circle-to-land approaches at Southwest?

 

[firstthird]

Short answer. No.


But, we do visuals that involved a circling maneuver as long as the weather is 1000/3 or better.

Of course, I'm still pretty new here and that is just the way I understand it so someone with some more mojo may have a better/more correct answer.

That is correct. If it is a sidestep it has to be 1000/3 or published sidestep minima.

We do the 31C circle to land 22L quite frequently. The mins are published on the Jepps we fly specifically for SWA.

Apparently you've not ridden SWA's jumpseat much...

Sometimes a straight in can look like a circle! TC

P.S.--You all know I love SWA so spare me the outrage!

And that would be at least 1000 & 3
