On a normal runway, if the head wind drops or the rate of descent is variable, or there is poor visibility, low ceiling, at worst you come down 500 meter past the point where you normally touch down.
Still plenty of runway left to stop the plane.


How are they planning to do that on a circular runway?
come out of the low ceiling and then say, aw shucks, i missed my turn
There is less safety margin.
