That would make sense to me, is that common - I don't believe I have ever seen that notation before. Usually those altitudes are the same value, why would they need to have a a 100 foot difference? If it was a larger value I could come to some sort of conclusion, but 100 feet? Thanks

I've seen it a few times. Not sure why, but my best guess is that perhaps the 3,300' figure doesn't meet descent angle criteria for non-precision approaches.
|
3300' looks like the GS intercept, and 3200 is the MDA before reaching the marker inbound for the LOC only approach
of course i'm too used to my jepp charts too |
We have all ready determined that to be true, I am now curious WHY they couldn't make the localizer and glideslope intercept altitude the same value?:o
