You're citing the rules for descending below an MDA or DA. But the question
is about descending below an intermediate fix.


If you have the requirements for descending below the MDA, you have
the requirements for descending below any intermediate altitudes.

But you make a good point.

The altitudes published on an approach are generally minimum
altitudes, unless there is a solid line over the altitude specified,
then it is a maximum altitude, and if there are two lines, it's a
mandatory altitude.

Int his case, unless he has the requirements to go below the MDA, the
answer would be "no".
