DH v MDA
Perhaps some clever bod, can answer this for me, and provide a reference in PAN ops or summit simular.
On a EFIS aircraft, ie G5, there are two options on the Display controller panel, for setting minima on the approach.
Do these numbers have any other function than a display on the PFD with either DH/MDA and the selected value.
One is labeled DH the other MDA.
In the past I would have always said DH is for a precision approach ie PAR/ILS, and MDA for a non precision approach.
However I have been instructed that now the DH is only for Rad Alt specified decision height approaches, ie Cat 2 and above.
MSA should be set for CAT 1 ILS aproaches.
I would appreciate a tie breaker for this question please.
As the EFB on my AC does not have chapter and verse of the regs installed, I am at a loss to answer the question that I was asked, and I dont want to be stupid all my life.... Windy.
