Which category is associated with circling radius in the material?

CAT A CAT B CAT C CAT E

Correct Answer:

CAT E

Explanation:

Circling radius is the turning distance needed to stay clear of obstacles while performing a circling maneuver after approach. This radius grows with the aircraft’s performance and approach speed: faster, higher‑performance categories require a larger circle to ensure safe clearance. In the material, the circling radius is linked to the highest category, CAT E, which represents that larger radius due to greater speed and handling limits. So CAT E is the best match because it reflects the largest turning radius needed for safe circling. Lower categories imply smaller radii because their airplanes fly slower and can complete tighter turns safely.
