AMC3 CAT.OP.MPA.110 Aerodrome operating minima ED Decision 2022/012/R DETERMINATION OF DH/MDH FOR INSTRUMENT APPROACH OPERATIONS — AEROPLANES (a) The decision height (DH) to be used for a 3D approach operation or a 2D approach operation flown using the continuous descent final approach (CDFA) technique should not be lower than the highest of: (1) the obstacle clearance height (OCH) for the category of aircraft; (2) the published approach procedure DH or minimum descent height (MDH) where applicable; (3) the system minima specified in Table 4; (4) the minimum DH permitted for the runway specified in Table 5; or (5) the minimum DH specified in the aircraft flight manual (AFM) or equivalent document, if stated. (b) The MDH for a 2D approach operation flown not using the CDFA technique should not be lower than the highest of: (1) the OCH for the category of aircraft; (2) the published approach procedure MDH where applicable; (3) the system minima specified in Table 4; (4) the lowest MDH permitted for the runway specified in Table 5; or (5) the lowest MDH specified in the AFM, if stated.
