To further simplify things, we fly all non-precision approaches as APV approaches to a DA.
Mmm... depending on the jurisdiction there may be legal differences between flying NPA using CDFA to a DDA, vs. flying an APV to a DA. They are not exactly equivalent, even if the procedures may be similar.
E.g., in most jurisdictions, when executing a go around you may go below the APV DA, but for an NPA you must ensure your DDA has sufficient buffer (usually 50 ft) to not go below the MDA.
