In a modern aircraft with path vector symbology it seems to me that the charted (and presumably database) descent angle can be used to arrive at a DA of 1,500 at the VOR.
The ARINC-424 coding does not work for this procedure, even if you were try to force this into 424 coding, it would disco in the database.

Hardly necessary. It's pretty obvious
Jepp response...

I will send a request to our analysts in the Frankfurt office about getting an inquiry off to the Austria AIS.
Stone is correct in questioning this procedure.
The 1500 at GRZ (2.4 GPA) is not supported by any criteria, obstacle assessment areas, or even simple math. the lights are at 3 degrees, the 34:1 surface and 20:1 surfaces do not provide the required ROC for this 2.4 approach, there is no obstacle assessment that provides ROC protection for the 1500 2.4 gpa surface.
If flying NPA, with baro-vnav, the temp limits are not shown, for when the 2.4 GPA ROC meets limits??? what is the limit...ground surface?
Show me the ICAO surface that provides 200' ROC. 246 ROC. or 250ROC at 1500.
