I believe they want you to specifically memorize 197.175 (c). What you need to see before you start a descent below MDA. Not sure about the “drawing” part but I’ve seen it referred to in previous threads about interviews.

Somebody please clarify?

I believe this stems from an accident a few years ago where the flight crew identified the approach lighting only without the runway environment in sight. They began a descent from MDA too early and crashed into a low hill just before the runway.

Again, somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.
