MDA for CONSTANT DESCENT NPA

Hi folks,

when reaching DA we make a decision. After a decision for a G/A it is physicaly imposible to go without descending below DA. That is allowed! The allowed hight loss depends on the A/C category.

To descent below a MDA is not yet allowed. Thatīs what I know. So I add 50 ft as well.

But: meanwhile you can find some Jepessen NPA charts with a DA published not a MDA!!!

I canīt find any rule within the EU OPS that allows a descent below such a published DA for a NPA.

Doeīs anybody know where we can find such a rule?
