Not really - slightly irrelevant? It disregards the wording quoted by 66. I repeat, with emphasis:

A Category 2 decision height must be identified by reference to radio altitude and must not be less than
100ft arte or the OCH


What do you reckon the OCH is?
AIP Austria chart LOWW AD 2.24-6-4 states that the OCH for a Cat C a/c conducting a Cat II ILS rwy 29 at LOWW is 91ft. Does this allay your worries?
