The pilot needs to know that the DA includes only a 50 foot momentary descent. Most aircraft cannot go from approach config to GA and only descend 50 feet.
The design criteria for the approach and published minima are based on the certification requirements that the aircraft has met. Therefore ALL aircraft being operated 'normally' can achieve the minimum obstacle clearance on a go around initiated at the correct DA(H).
