I don't think anybody is suggesting that you drop below the MDA on a CDA. Some authorities (including my own) have allowed CDAs to be flown with a "Derived Decision Altitude" of MDA+50. Provided you commence the GA at the DDA, it is considered that your obligations with regard to MDA are met.

The Pakistanis are onto it:

BOAC, you should think outside the square a little. The world doesn't revolve around GMT+0.
