Thanks
an example would be XMN ZSAM, ILS 05 procedural, the min hold altitude is 1800 feet, IAF is 1500 feet, overhead the beacon which the hold is also based on, and point at which you go procedure outbound
if you were at 1800 and in turn outbound in hold, and cleared for approach, could you descend to 1500ft? (I realise you may not have to and could maintain 1800 ft in this procedure until crossing the beacon to go procedure outbound, I’m just asking legally when can you descend below min hold altitude)
thanks
