Jepp no longer in the GA business...?

Give your method a test. Check both Runway 3 at PHLI (Lihue, Hawaii) and Runway 15
at KASE (Aspen, Colorado) and see if you get the VGSI restrictions for both of
those runways. If you do, you likely don't need the AF/D either.

Did you mean PLIH? What's VGSI? If I didn't get the VGSI restrictions for an
airport, I wouldn't even know what I didn't have.

PHLI is Lihue, Hawaii, the main airport on Kauai. The domestic identifier is LIH. VGSI
(visual glide slope indicator) is the generic term for PAPI or VASI.

From the AIM:

"Pilots should be aware that the published angle is for information only - it is strictly
advisory in nature. There is no implicit additional obstacle protection below the MDA.
Pilots must still respect the published minimum descent altitude (MDA) unless the visual
cues stated in 14 CFR Section 91.175 are present. In rare cases, the published procedure
descent angle will not coincide with the Visual Glide Slope Indicator (VGSI); VASI or
PAPI. In these cases, the procedure will be annotated: 'VGSI and descent angle not
coincident.' "
