VOR approach SMO

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! If there is more than one minimum altitude at a fix, my experience has shown that the highest Category A altitude will be shown on the NACO profile view, since the lower requires additional conditions to be met. Hence the 1120 on the planview, not the 680, but 680 is clearly listed in the minima box. Which one would you want to read at a quick glance?

You cannot go to 680 until after CULVE but I can see how it mislead you. -Robert, CFII

I was questioning it myself after Karl's posts. I guess the thing to take away from this to me is that the plan view does not necessarily present the MDA. The MDA (presented in teh box below) *only* applies after the FAF and that the plan view may not show that. Luckily I knew that when I flew it in IMC last weekend  -Robert
