However, they had just arrived from a significant amount of time where they had been below minimum segement altitude.

Just because the minimima inside 6.5 DME is 760 feet doesn't mean that the aircraft was above minima as he stated, it was not earlier in the approach.

However, I could have worded it more clearly in my proof that he was incorrect. Thanks.

In an earlier reply I mentioned page 13....It should have said page 3.
