Circling Airspeed for CAT C is

Circling Airspeed for CAT C is

• A. <91 KIAS
• B. 91 to less than 121 KIAS
• C. 121 to less than 141 KIAS
• D. 141 to less than 166 KIAS

Answer: (C)

Circling airspeed is tied to the aircraft’s approach category, which uses indicated airspeed (KIAS) to determine maneuvering speed for the circle-to-land maneuver. For Category C, the aircraft’s approach speed is greater than 120 knots and up to 140 knots. That puts the circling speed in the range of 121 to less than 141 KIAS. So the best choice is the range that sits above 120 and up to 140 knots. The other ranges correspond to Category A (up to 90 knots), Category B (91 to less than 121), and Category D (141 to less than 166).
