Sorry Capt. and 172
The aim wasn't to make a simple VOR/DME approach complicated; however, I looked at the approach plate and was confused, it sounds like Boyington was confused, that is why he asked the question. We have now discussed and pondered the intention of the plate for a day or so. We may have come to a conclusion, it may be correct or it may be incorrect!
The question is, how long would a pilot have to brief on the plate having just diverted towards that airfield for the first time in their career, if that MDA(H) table was unnecessarily complicated would deciphering it have interfered with more important tasks?
Cheers
