CDFA Offset FAT
EASA CDFA
With reference to PARA 2.5 Approach with a nominal vertical profile using the CDFA technique: The final approach track off-set ≤ 5degrees except for Category A and B aeroplanes, where the approach-track off-set is ≤ 15 degrees; how does we conduct CDFA approaches using a B737 when the final approach track is offset by 11 degrees. |
Well you don't, that's the whole point of the definition.
If the FAT is offset by 11 degrees you'll have an MDA and will then "dive and drive" as was done before CDFAs became a thing. |

In this case you’d have an MDA instead of a DA. |

Well the paragraph mentioned above is used for determining the max and minimum visibility/rvr requirement.

I'm not familiar with the linked document, but it seems to be from the days of JAR OPS. CDFA can be flown as published, with any offset, unless company policy states otherwise.
