Well sabenapilot, the level flight required at MDA is a REQUIREMENT for the FAA rating, what the airline ops specs says about this (in normal line flying) is quite another. If the individual airline wants to treat an MDA as a DA, that is their option. Seems quite unnecessary to me. And, so is the +50' business added to MDA...more European nonsense. Either you can fly accurately, or you cannot, rather simple really...
