So what does this restriction actually mean, since you will never circle IMC?

Then the next question, and the one I think you're implying, is if you can only shoot it if the field is at or above 1000 & 3 and your MDA is 980, then do you have to drop down to 500AGL to maintain 500' below the clouds once you break out? That certainly wouldn't seem to make sense to me, but then if you don't you wouldn't be flying it under visual flight rules, just in visual meteorological conditions.
But that would be a whole lot of crap to try to cram onto the backs of our certificates

Obviously we're looking too deeply into the limitations aspect. We all have limitations with respect to being English proficient, VMC circling, SIC only types, etc. Fedex wants to be certain you don't have a centerline thrust only limit, or multi-engine VFR only limit, think along those lines.

The answer is yes. It is a limitation. If it wasn't a limitation it wouldn't be listed.
It doesn't matter that FedEx doesn't go to HYA, it is a limitation. HYA was just a wx example.
When you get in give me a call, the beers are on me. If HYA is IMC I'll be at the Quarterdeck, if the field is VMC I'll be at the beach.
Once again, if you have to ask the question, maybe you shouldn't be applying to FedEx.

Just to clear this up?
The "CIRC. APCH - VMC ONLY", is an aircraft specific limitation only.
It is not a limitation for the ATP. I can circle to land, to circling mins, in anything other than the particular aircraft designated "CIRC. APCH - VMC ONLY", on the back of my ATP certificate.
There, now it's as clear as mud.

Sunny, Flaps,
Thanks for the advice. I will include Instructor time in the PIC - but I'll add a comment on the questionair page stating that I've added that time in. That way I make sure I get credit for the time, and if that is not what they intended then at least I am honest in telling them what I did.
Cheers!

Turtle,
I'm pretty sure if you read the directions on the top of the "hours" page, if not there I read it somewhere in the profile - to add instructor time into the PIC time and then also break it out as instructor time in that block. Hope this helps, good luck and fly safe.
