800 feet MDA on the VOR 13L at JFK if that's what you are asking. They were visual and well past the MAP of DMYHL .
Yup, that point of course being the start of the turn....for those not familiar with it the approach there is a requirement to have the lead in lights in sight... One trap I’ve seen one or two almost fall into is not noticing that you need a slightly flatter than the normal 3degree approach from DMYHL to 13L and it can be difficult to pick up the 13L threshold/VGSI in amongst the general lighting clutter.....so it you hit DMHYL and start hustling down at Whatever gives you 3 degrees FPA you can start heading into interesting territory....

That said this approach looks like a heck of a outlier..be interesting to find out the human factors... if we ever do...
