Altitude warnings for descents inside the FAF are given when?

• A. Passing 200' prior to any MDA/DA, and at all level off altitude/MDA/DA
• B. Passing 100' prior to MDA/DA, and at level-off altitude
• C. Passing 50' prior to MDA/DA and at level-off altitude only
• D. Passing 300' prior to MDA/DA and at all level-off altitudes

Answer: (A)

When you’re descending inside the FAF, the system is designed to alert you with enough lead time to verify you can land or execute a missed approach. It does this by giving an altitude warning 200 feet before reaching any MDA or DA, and it also provides a warning at every level-off altitude along the final approach. This combination keeps you aware of both the minimums you must not descend below and the points where you level off, so you’re prepared to continue visually or switch to the missed approach if needed.
