Well, it can do where it 'notifies' something referred to in an article of the ANO. However, that is not the case here. In any event, what the AIP says wrt to AOM is this:
"Pilots with a valid Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) Rating are recommended to add 200 ft to the minimum applicable DH/MDH, but with absolute minima of 500 ft for a precision approach and 600 ft for a non-precision approach."
I find it hard to interpret that as anything other than a recommendation!
