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 HVN VOR-2 has a) a greater difference between the approach course and the
runway b) the same past the threshold MAP nd c) a very simular missed
prodedure.
