SNS3Guppy You haven't made any attempt to answer the question you have just told FFF something he demonstrates in the question he is fully aware of.
(Sorry if you are female FFF)
I am interested in the answer to the CDFA question too. I have noticed on European charts that certain VOR and GPS based approaches are referring to DA(H) now. Heraklion VOR 27 is one example that I have to hand. The word STANDARD is used as described.
I confess that until I read this question I was unaware of the reason - at first I thought it was an error, but I saw it occurring on other plates too.
I'm guessing - as SNS3Guppy makes explicit - that if it's called a DA then it's a DA and therefore there is no need to add the 50ft. Otherwise there would be two types of DA - non precision and precision. We already have a system to differentiate between those two types - MDA / DA.
Why would any sensible authority change a simple system with different names for different things to one that uses the same name for two distinct minima?
Oh... yeah. I see what I said there...
