LFLB new VPT 36 circling

On reaching minimum for the ILS/LOC or RNP 18Z approach in LFLB, the former procedure called for a breakout to the right, to join a left-hand downwind for runway 36. This was an MVL (Manoeuvre à Vue Libre), meaning that the final turn was at pilot’s discretion.

The new procedure is now named VPT circling 36, for Visual Prescribed Tracks (MVI or Manoeuvre à Vue Imposée) and now calls for a breakout to the left, to join a right-hand downwind. 

Note: the circling minimas are now lower than the 2100’ AMSL VFR circuit, making it particularily tricky, especially at the end of downwind as well as in category C aircraft (where the tracks are even closer to the mountain).

Finally, note that the neither the official DSNA chart nor the Jeppesen chart were geo-referenced (unlike LFLP VPT 22), so buyer beware !
