VOR approach SMO
I have never used NACO charts, ever.
From the NACO chart I downloaded, there are four identical asterisks. It is
very easy to read the chart as I did, as one of the asterisk points to
crossing at the lower altitude. Another poster read it that way as well.
The Jeppesen charts show no such ambiguity.

And yet he can look at the (relatively simple) KSMO VOR / GPS approach
chart and misread it to the point where he's confidently heaping crap on
anyone who disagrees with his very basic misreading of it. At least he
finally and graciously appologised for all that.
Seriously, though, can anyone look at the chart and really think it's
safe (let alone legal) to go much below 1120 immediately after BEVEY in
IMC? As I've said earlier in this thread, I've worked in the buildings
that represent the charted obstructions not far from the centerline of
that approach, and it scares the hell out of me that a supposedly
seasoned ATP can be so far off in his reading of that chart.
