OK, I have never flown Airbus, just B727, 737 200. Obviously automation has changed the rules. My appologies.
The NDB minima you mention is QNH. I was at pains to stress AGL.
Any VOR chart would TELLyou of an inherent deviation, NOT a notammed deviation. Thats why you have notams. Not all VOR approaches are offset. Read your procedures.
How do you know he was on NDB approach? Do you know other details we dont?
re climb and GA. He would have trouble maintaining his MDA or climbing in a calm conditions approach esp if he applied power too fast and late. I hope you are not carrying passengers with your tailwind condition approaches.. keep quiet about it if you do.
