It's pretty complicated and saves having to find the now hidden TERPs manual. I think it even goes into MLS, ASR, and PAR approaches.
The IPH is good, but it is missing the information I am looking for. I remember being told the minimum altitude for an MDA and I remember it being something ridiculously low like 250 and I just want to confirm it. What I really need is TERPs, but like you said, it is hidden. There are sites that claim they have it but charge a monthly fee for access. Does anyone know where to find TERPs?
