While we are on approaches, in the latest Jepp amendment, 25 APR 03, the terminal section under ILS has changed.
Para 2.7.3.1 used to be the one that stated that at the altitude check if you were high you added that on to the DA/H.
It now states:
"The final approach segment contains a fix (FAP) at which the glide path/altimeter relationship should be verified. If the check indicates an unexplained discrepancy, the ILS approach should be discontinued. The following should also be complied with:" etc,etc. Part c of this now states "For operations where the temperature on the ground is colder than -15 degrees C, the DA/H should be adjusted to true altitude."
Does this mean if you show 50' high and you consider that an explained discrepancy, you continue to the published DA/H unless it is colder than -15, or has the requirement to add the altitude been moved somewhere else in Jepp's?
