Herluf, . .I believe you are talking about Jeppesen approach charts. The main difference in approach minimums with state publications is that they tend to be slightly higher, on precision approaches. . .The Obstacle Clearance Altitude is a state defined minimum that (if I remeber correctly) does NOT include the altitude you lose at your decision altitude. What I mean is that at your DA you look up and say landing or go around. If you go around you will initially lose a little bit of altitude because of inertia, the heavier the aircraft the more you loose. Jeppesen takes this into account and adds a little margin on top of the state published OCA so that you dont go below the OCA when you arrive at your DA and look up.. .If you go below the OCA you would be "busting minimums" if you dip below your DA as a result of you looking up and deciding to go around, than this is somewhat accounted for.. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
