I'm surprised this approach didn't have any heights specified. Is that normal for this SAR operation? What's the point of an approach, clearly intended for IMC let downs, without associated heights? But even so, I still cannot see any reason why you'd descend to 200ft so far out, even if you knew it was flat sea. Could this be a case of being sucked into to using too much automation (i.e. APP1) without thinking enough about the logic of its use right then?
