9g Both your designated and nominal approaches are flown to DA. The next paragraph after your qoute reads (my bolding):
The missed approach, after an approach has been flown using the CDFA technique, shall be executed when reaching the decision altitude (height) or the MAPt, whichever occurs first. The lateral part of the missed approach procedure must be flown via the MAPt unless otherwise stated on the approach chart.
The way I read it:
- CDFA is constant profile do 50 ft over threshold;
- all NPAs shall be flown as CDFA [EU law since 2008];
- even nominal approaches (no vertical guidance) shall be flown to DA with Miss Approach procedure initiated upon reaching with no allowed level flight towards MAPt [EU law once your operator applies for Appendix (New) to OPS 1.430; every operator must adhere to Appendix (New) by September 2011 the latest]
