Kujock- Are you using the actual CAA plates or are they Aerad? Does anyone know if Aerad are making any changes?
Scanscan- you may find that Jepp are starting to change their tune on this one. I have seen several Jepp plates now that, while they have the same profile view, also have a little table showing ideal altitudes/DMEs. This,if it is there, is along the bottom of the plan view. I think only approaches that do not have multiple level offs and DME fixes depicted on the profile have this. I think this shows that Jepp do not expect all the level offs to be flown as drawn. Any how, it is time Jepp Aerad etc got their acts together and cleared this one up.
Quid- Glad to hear that, I thought that was the case. Flying level at MDA in a big jet with an engine out is hard work. Doing the same thing in a light twin is impossibe! Most, if not all, will not maintain altitude on one engine with the gear down. In fact it was in light twins that I first came across this method, it was a company requirement to practice NPAs single engine with a constant ROD and GA immediately upon reaching MDA. It was impressed upon us that level flight at this point was not just difficult, it was suicidal!
