Thanx much all for input. I was wondering about the common practice of the said approach procedure after reading an accident report of an Allegheny flight (years back) that crashed short of runway at HVN. Turned out the hot-shot captain had a habit of disregarding MDA -- on an earlier sector to GON, he executed a missed 3 times from as low as 175 AGL (MDA 610) before being cleared for a the contact approach and sticking a landing. Obviously, he wasn’t as lucky on the last leg and plowed through some cottages at 29 AGL (MDA 380)…
