Hope this time it's OK.
- no not really! It still makes no sense. If the ground is not level before the runway, then '60m' has no use. If the terrain rises to the threshold as in Smolensk, a 'call' at 60m is too late, as it was there.
If no runway lights visible passing rad alt minimum, it's missed approach.
- should read If no runway lights visible passing 100m baro minimum, it's missed approach. Then it is 'OK'.

By the way, what is a 'practice approach' and 'not intending to land' mean?

"they did not intend to land. They just wanted to confirm visibility at MDA and either land or divert. " is crazy. Is it a problem in translation?
