Non-Precision Approach Profile (ICAO)
Hi,
On the Jeppesen approach plates you can se for an non-precision approach altitides given at a specific distance, with a continuos descent profile on the chart (no step down). Are these altitudes absolute minima descent altitudes at this specific DME (for obtaining required obstacle clearance) or only altitudes for depicting the correct approach angle? In the Jeppesen it says "Minimum altitudes unless otherwise specified".
My other question is about timing in a holding. In the Oxford aviation Training Air Law book it says, "The still air time for flying the outbound entry heading should not exceed one minute if at or below 14 000 ft" I used to adjust the outbound leg so I got a 1 minute inbound leg, what is the correct procedure?
Thanks in advance,
