Hi 68+,

If you follow the published descent profile, you'll be at your MDA before 5 DME. The missed approach point (MAP) is at 5 DME.

The original question was simply asking at what DME from the VOR could you leave 3000 feet on a 3.05 deg to satisfy all the altitude checks.
3000 - 1900 = 1100 feet. At 320 feet per mile; descend at 3.4 DME.
