VOR approach SMO
So, in the end it sounds like if everyone on this list had just grabbed the chart and flown the approach, about 3/4 of the people would have died (gone down to 680 before CULVE). Wow, does it seem like the FAA should make this chart a bit more clear? The chart is "clear" as is. Review the LEGEND in the front of the U.S. Terminal Procedure book. (Page H1 in my approach books.) Bottom left corner of page: Under "ALTITUDES" 2500 with a line under it - "Minimum Altitude". Pretty clear! It's pretty scary to realize that "several" instrument rated pilots were willing (at least in this discussion group) to descend below a clearly charted minimum altitude prematurely! Fly safe! RAW
