N.b. IF you correct the FAF and then descend continiously on a 3 deg geometrical profile, then the raise of (D)DA does not move the intersect point away from the threshold, so one of the undesirable effects is well mitigated.

If someone manages to merge the SOP for various NPA, err 2D approaches, into one drill for crews, it is a massive improvement on safety. The S word is being misapplied more often than not, but less workload and clearer standards is definitely the way to go. I can only imagine what a huge burden is lifted from the training system if the above is achieved. And how much good can be done with the freed-up resources!

As for correcting the MSA: if left uncorrected, the nubmer loses its meaning completely. The connection between MSA and traffic separation is completely lost on this guy.
