Yes mate, we have been doing that stuff, using 3x and had profiles on our plates, before you started flying. I will go so far as to say the world copied us in that regard.
Repeating this nonsense occludes things.
It's not hard.
You're speaking in riddles. Of course we "check" the profile table as we go down an approach (which we do in VNAV, despite the fact that this is a
NPA). But that is a far cry from "requiring it to be followed" to allow a lower minima.
As I said, as far as I am aware, there has never been any requirement, on a 2D approach, which this obviously is, to fly a CDFA to allow use of a lower minima. If you have an ICAO reference, or indeed any regulatory reference that has such a procedure/policy, please provide it. In other words, explain the regulatory requirement/reference for your claim that "
CDFA by definition of FA only applies after FAF."
