In the June/July issue of LNN, Dave Riggs wrote an article describing 
his in-flight emergency. He says he used the circle-to-land approach 
documented in Charlie Kohler's book, "Flying the Lancair IV". Is the 
procedure Brent describes the circle-to-land procedure? If not, could 
someone give us a description of the circle-to-land procedure? Thanks.
