Do you know how they fly that VOR approach?
SkyWest CRJ is not RNP capable, so the only option is VOR or a GPS over-lay of it. Minimums for it are pretty high at 2300' MSL (1823 HAT), so 2300 would be spun into the ALT SEL. If the Minimums were 2305, 2305 would be set in the MDA window, but 2400 would be spun into the ALT SEL and the AutoPilot/FD would level-off there. One could hand-fly down to 2305 if desired. With the autopilot on, the CRJ will level off above the minimums since the AutoPilot/FD can't be programmed to level off at an altitude that doesn't end in "00."
