Re: low temperature correction

Popay
This means that at -30 C, for a sea level airport, you are suggesting for a Cat 1 approach with a nominal DA of 200 ft QNH, the actual altitude will be about 160 ft above the threshold.
That doesn't seem right and I think I would be increasing the DA to 240 ft QNH to recover the required 200 ft.
Or have I got this wrong ?
