FE Hoppy, I can only speak to the Jepp plates, but if there is a DA posted in lieu of an MDA, that's what the operator is approved for REGARDLESS of their OpsSpecs. If on the otherhand there is an MDA and the operator has the "OpsSpecs approvals" that opertor can use the MDA as a DA and use that value. IF, the opertor does not have the approval, they must add the 50' to the MDA and use that new value. That 50' is not shown anywhere in the Minimums block and it's simply an operators specific limitation.

That may be what you just wrote, but for some reason I did not understand it that way.
