Sundog -

You are right! I am confused. This is what I know. GPS-C does not have an indicated rwy on the approach plate is the heading is not in line with rwy 15..or any runway for that matter.

The only MDA information is listed for a "circle to land" - there is no straight in approach.

ATC called out "cleared circle to Land rwy 33. Enter right downwind traffic"...or something similar to that. So, in short I had to make a 180 turn on the boxed in end of run way 33.

Regarding circle to land, I have only read that you have to have the runway in sight at all times during your turns. Why it's called a circle to land when I really only need to do a downwind traffic pattern is my confusion. As noted in posts above, they call it circle to land since approach is steep.

Tell me more !

Thanks again guys
