MDA

I am aware that JAA insist on 50ft being added to non precision MDA, VOR/NDB approaches, world wide.

Yet the FAA do not require this safety margin, which I am told is to allow for the interia in the level out.

My Question, is this in the new LASORS, or is it a CAA JAA Circular, or where can I find the reference material.

If it applies to NPA, and then this becomes a circle to land, does the circle then have the higher mins.

Lastly, does any other authority apply this rule: UAE, India, China, Russia...for example.

Many thanks, Glf
