A Very Civil Pilot:
"If your ROD is slightly greater than needed, you'll be at MDA before the MAPt"
"The MAPt point is the one that is on the approach plate."

So when planning your rate of descent, you are aiming to be at MDA+50 feet over the MAPt??? Is this correct?

I must be missing something here. In Canada, most of our MAPts are at the runway threshold. Arriving at this point at MDA+50 is a sure way to require a MA. Are your MAPts a mile or two back from the runway? What would you do if the MAPt was at the runway?
