When you are cleared for the VOR-A you are expected to fly the profile....fly at the MDA and not a foot lower to the missed approach point or until you see the runway environment as defined in 91.175. When you see the airport, you should real quick ask for a contact approach...then you can follow ground reference and altitude is not a factor. Bob Gardner "John Clonts" wrote in message .. . I'm inbound on the final approach segment of the VOR-A approach at T82 (Fredericksburg Texas): http://www.myairplane.com/databases/.../T82_vd_gA.pdf At about 3 miles east of the airport I'm at the MDA of 2460 MSL ("766 AGL"), mostly in a 700 foot overcast. Through a break in the clouds I clearly see the airport-- the visibility is about 7 miles. ... Cheers, John Clonts Temple, Texas N7NZ The caviat here is you need to see the runway environment to be allowed to descend, not just the airport. |
