And the approach mins have to be corrected, that is, those AFTER the FAF.

From Airbus “ Gettin grip with cold weather ops “ :
“ On approach, at least the following published altitudes must be increased in low OAT conditions: • MSA, • FAF altitude, • Step-down altitude(s) and MDA(H) during a non-precision approach, • OM altitude during an ILS approach, • Waypoint crossing altitudes during a GPS approach flown with vertical navigation. As it is not allowed to modify the altitude constraints of a non-precision approach, a minimum OAT to fly the approach with the «FINAL APPR» FMGC mode must be established. For OAT lower than this minimum, selected vertical navigation must be used.” |
If you choose to stay in an uncorrected altitude of 3000ft, than you have to start your descent later and apply the cold temperature correction on your FPA.
So -20 gives you 3,5*0,04= 14%. This means if you start your descent in DUS at 7.6 NM with an FPA of -3,4 you should be fine. We only have to correct altitudes below the corrected MSA. So in this case all below 3192ft |
Does your company prevent you flying VNAV down to the LNAV minima? If it does then if you are at a non-temperature corrected platform, you will indeed have a shallower or later decent to the first temperature corrected checkpoint. If it is allowed then the aircraft will start the decent slightly later to maintain a constant angle. (Speaking from Boeing perspective anyway...)
