At a non towered airport flying a non precision approach for a straight in landing, and come up to the runway and notice a change in wind direction favoring the reciprocal runway. MDA for the approach straight in and circle to land are the same altitudes. Can I go ahead and circle to land?
I thought I would need a clearance to do so?
Also, my understanding is circle to land were for towered airports. Thoughts?
