Flying a non-ILS approach with Capt. Sailingfun:
B: Captain Sailing, looks like we are flying too low, the chart says the MDA is 500.

Capt Sailing: no we are not!

B: I show you at 470 ft, that's 30ft below the MDA and we're in the soup, lets climb!

Capt Sailing: You're just looking at the new chart, the old one says the MDA is 470

B: We are too low and below MDA.

Capt Sailing: My charts here from 2004 and 2008 show an MDA of 470 so technically we aren't low at all.

B: We are below the current MDA of 500ft, Go around!.
Cheers
