Non precision MDA/DA

Hello Forum,

sorry, but did I miss something the last few month?
I was always the opinion that Non Prec. Apps (talking of NDB now) are MDA based.

Means that I have an altitude which I will not bust.
Bombardier tells you to add 50 to the MDA and call it a DA and perform a GA if you haven't seen the light until then.

But no matter what the Bomabrider procedure is,... have a look to LOWL or LOWS. Check the NDB APPs.

They post a DA there.
Why? What would you do? To be on the save side, as long as I do not know why there is no MDA, I will still add 50 ft and perform GA there. But seems strange for me. If you read strictly the paper you can bust the DAs on those Non Prec. Apps.

What's you opinion?

Thanks for you help.
