    The document outlines the procedures for a visual circuit approach in an Airbus A330 aircraft. It describes the downwind leg at 1500 feet and 1000 feet, followed by a 45 second rotation at flaps 2 and a 2.5-3 nm final approach. Key steps include aligning with the runway threshold abeam at 40 seconds out, checking the 500 foot and 1000 foot radio altitude calls, and initiating takeoff by setting thrust levers to 50% N1 then FLEX or TO/GA while checking the FMA callout by the PF.

    The document outlines the procedures and callouts for a visual circuit in an Airbus A330 aircraft.

    The different stages of the visual circuit include takeoff, climb out, downwind, base, final approach and landing.

    Callouts are made for events like gear up, flaps settings, altitude and speed checks during climb out and turns. Checklists are also called out.
