Exceeding MDA is and should be instant fail, since you bust the approach minimum
If you mean going
below MDA, yes, but I was referring to going
above MDA+50ft (during the level flight section which normally exists between reaching MDA and reaching the MAPt) which is apparently also a fail.
The word "exceeding" is a little ambiguous in this case
As regards the suggestion to file a complaint, only an idiot is going to do that in this rather small business. You would want to have
all the papers you ever want securely in your pocket before even thinking of something like that. I appealed several questions in the written exams, but that's different (a friend of mine appealed 5 in just one exam alone) because it seems to get ignored anyway
remember that the platform heights for the base turn are -0 as well
Are they always so? I thought that an altitude marker drafted with an underscore like this
2500 (on Jepps) meant you cannot go below it. I have discussed this with the IR instructor as it happens and neither of us was aware of such an implicit rule. I have just looked at a load of Jepp plates for NP approaches with a base turn and they seem to always write the figure at that point immediately above the base turn line, so it could be interpreted as being underlined, but that line is really the side view of the base turn.
