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.

You actually went back and counted? WOW!

Now, go back and read the entire post and quote it correctly.
I asked if it "counted" as a limitation. (As far as FedEx was concerned).
Again, some airlines see the "limitation" as a "restriction" and want it removed. Southwest does NOT see it as a "limitation/restriction".
As far as the Quarterdeck, thanks, but no thanks. Starbuck's WAS my preferred watering hole while I lived there.

Okay, so what conclusion did you guys come to on the commercial multi question? I didn't quite get it. After UPT, got the commercial multi, then like a previous poster, got the ATP which superseded that. So can I check both boxes (commercial amel and atp amel)on the ratings page? Sorry, got lost in the limitations conversation.

Don't check both boxes. Just check the ATP box.

For poop and giggles, I just checked the ATP, and I wasn't allowed to continue...
I went back and checked both, and got to the next page.

Seriously though, I don't understand what that limitation means exactly - does it mean you can't even commence the approach from the IAF unless you're VMC?

Don't get VMC confused with VFR. Circling is a VMC maneuver done under IFR so you don't need VFR cloud clearance. You go missed because if you go in the clouds after commencing the circle you may not know exactly where you are. If you are on the final approach segment and you are VMC then reenter the clouds then you stay on the approach until the missed approach point unless you break out again then can commence the circle before the missed.
