When to descend II

So, it is now okay to descend into that traffic that you speculated exists
in your early post in this thread?


Traffic wasn't an issue.

If the controller is using vertical separation between the OP's aircraft and
traffic beneath him that lower traffic would also require an altitude
restriction that insured separation. The minimum separation is 1000' if the
lower aircraft is IFR and 500' if it's VFR, but the altitude restriction
cannot be lower than the MVA. Look at the approach plate, there is a 593
MSL tower about four miles southwest of ROYCE, the MVA can't be lower than
1600 MSL within three miles of that tower, and it's probably higher. Do the
math.
