1. There is no "decision height" in a non-precision approach. You probably mean the point where MDA intersects the glidepath, which was the missed approach point according to charts.
in the sentence before, i named that point corectly as missed approach point. However, as it is unclear what approach they had been cleared to ( not stated by ATC), which approach they flew (probably FMS managed NDB) and what information ATC used (looks like PAR) i tried to describe that point in my own words.


2. So what you suggesting is that they leveled out at MDA and got themselfs above the glidepath past missed approach point? Quite probable but that still would mean that they intentionally busted minimas because at the MAP they were required to execute go around but didnt!
No, it would be called incorrect conduct of the missed approach procedure.

Otherwise thank you for recognizing my post as you did.
