Currency of approach charts and calculation of MDA

Jeppesen’s “Europe”

Not sure you would want to stand up in a bar in Prague holding that one up!

The Czechs (of which I am one) are normally non-violent, but there are limits… and they don’t suffer fools for very long

As a Bulgarian I can only say that I feel in a similar way, Peter.

However you must not set your decision height lower than 200ft for an ILS and 350ft for a non-precision approach. These are legal “hard limits”.

Depends on the NPA. The “system limits” are:

250’ for LOC, LOC/DME, VOR/DME, RNAV, SRA 0.5 NM
300’ for VOR, NDB, VDF, SRA 1.0 NM
350’ for SRA 2.0 NM
400’ for circling

The last three of those are almost never available that low, however.

I remember this stuff from the IR theory too, but it is useless.

You fly down to what the approach plate says, plus some margin if you feel non-current, plus whatever margin the examiner expects if it is a checkride (and you need to find out what that is )

40 Euros per month …
I pay close to € 2500 per year for JeppView, to have the Central Europe VFR and IFR Approach Charts on the MFD + iPad …
I also don’t have Sky.

The point is that if you use AIP plates, which a lot of people do, they don’t say. You have to figure the (M)DA/H yourself. And then this “useless” information is pretty handy.
