I'm a little late getting into this, because I have been offline since
late April, but I have to ask...what does MSA have to do with
anything? It is not a part of an instrument approach procedure and is
for use in emergencies only.

Now I have to go find the original post.

I incorrectly referred to the Minimum Altitude for that segment of the
approach as the Minimum Safe Altitude. Someone else also corrected my error
in this thread.

I'm not sure what the "official" name for the minimum altitude published on
the approach segment outside the outer marker is, but the minimum altitude
that I refer to is undoubtedly part of the approach, and they unquestionably
busted it by a significant amount...
