Just have a question about rnav crossing altitudes and mvas.
Let's say I have an rnav fix called usles and the crossing altitude is 7000... The mva is 065. The next fix after usles is dumbs at 059. Can I clear an aircraft at or above 065 at usles?
For clarification this is an rnav z approach clearance in an approach control.
I'm being told that "proceed direct usles, cross usles at or above 065, cleared rnav z rwy15 approach." Is illegal because the aircraft could descend to 059 after usles and this would put the aircraft too low for what is intended on the rnav.
