I'm trying to figure out the BAF ILS 23 localizer approach. The normal LOC 23 approach has a MDA of 900, and the LOC 23/DME approach has a MDA of 700 feet. After the FAF, there is a step down fix at 2.7 DME with a _1160_ before it. So does this mean that if you don't have DME, you can descend to 900 immediately after the FAF, but if you do have DME you can only descend to 1160 until 2.7 DME? Why is it safe to descend to 900 in one case, but only 1160 in the other? Assuming you mean CEF, not BAF, it does seem to read that way. I agree it seems odd. -- David Rind
