There are several answers to this question from 2011 onwards so fear they are outdated.
Is my understanding correct as of 2015?
1) during a non-precision approach we only use a DA based on baro. The fact that the aircraft, during a go-around, may continue to descend another 50 feet during the transition to climb remains LEGAL. (MDA is no longer to be used)??
2) during an ILS all decisions to go round (at minimums) are based on radio altimeter?? Is baro used during final stages of ILS, other than gross error checks?
Thanks
