I have never used NACO charts, ever.

From the NACO chart I downloaded, there are four identical asterisks.
It is very easy to read the chart as I did, as one of the asterisk
points to crossing at the lower altitude. Another poster read it that
way as well.

The Jeppesen charts show no such ambiguity.


I agree, Karl. With the benefit of all this discussion and sitting
comfortably at my workstation, the chart is unambiguous. If I were
prepping the approach while trying to fly the airplane (which *does*
happen sometimes) I'm not sure I couldn't have been similarly misled. I
think NACO could find a better way to convey the correct information.

This was brought to the FAA's attention. The asterisk has no business
being associated with the 1120 minimum altitude. That does suggest the
minimum altitude is conditional.

Here is the FAA response:

"They are going to remove the asterisk by the stepdown fix altitude and
leave it at the fix and with the minimums line. Don't know where they
got it, but they will check their source to see where it came from."
