Apples and oranges. You're comparing the straight-in MDA of the VOR
RWY 2
to the MDA of the VOR-A. The VOR-A has only a circling MDA, which
is 720 feet, the same as the circling MDA of the VOR RWY 2.


Yeah, but the point of my question was, "Why didn't they publish
straight-in minimums for the VOR-A and call it the VOR-32?"


I don't know, I'm no TERPS expert, but I'd wager it's because the MAP
is beyond the runway 32 threshold.




But there are straight-in approaches with the MAP well past the runway
threshold. Look at VOR24@RID for example.
