@heshamaly1 You are right on about that, we do a circle to land on SFO 1R from a straight in to SFO28L, never fly over the runway til touchdown.

hello, well done, very stable from key position.
-
@seoceancrosser Yeah, that was the identifier I found when I googled it too.

@Chappygolucky6 PHNG. Was working a military charter bringing some Marines home a couple years ago. Anymore questions or comments from the peanut gallery?
-
@seoceancrosser what is the airport identifier here... is it even a CIVIL land-airport? get real.
-
Okay, then why did they circle before minimums? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't a circling approach.
-
@TheMemphisSlim heshamaly is exactly right. There are many techniques for circling.

That's NOT a circling approach.. that's a simple Base to final type leg.. a Circling approach takes you first over the field so you can get your bearings then a 270 degree turn (assuming you come x-ways of the runway as you need to be) into a circling final approach.. That's an old style military approach before instruments were in wide use.

This was a VOR approach to rwy 22 circle to 4. A circling approach does not require an overflight of the field, so in this case the crew began circling prior to reaching the field, once they were in their protected circling radius from the airport.
