Tolerances - Published Minimum Altitudes
On May 9, 11:03 pm, John wrote:
If assigned IFR altitudes can be considered to have a tolerance of +/- 200 ft before you are "busted", what applies to published minimum altitudes other than DH and MDA on approach plates? Most people will say that you are not supposed to descend any amount below the DH/MDA altitudes. Does this also apply to procedure turn altitudes, transitions etc.? Is there a tolerance that is in effect +200 -0 that applies? In practical terms, whereas a decent of 100 ft below an assigned altitude will cause no problems, is such a decent of 50-100' below a published procedure turn altitude, transition altitude enough to get in trouble? John Where is the +/-200ft tolerance specified except in the PTS? I've heard many people refer to it, but could not find it in the FAR or AIM.
