5) You're maneuvering your plane on a left downwind to circle to land on runway 12L, and you lose sight of the runway. What should you do?
If you lose visual contact with the runway, you should immediately execute a missed approach. For a circling approach, you should make a climbing turn toward the landing runway (in this case, climbing left turn) until you are established on the missed approach course, then follow the missed approach procedure.
