Narrative:
Pilot landed and reported seeing approach lights 'at minimums' and 'breaking out' at 230 ft AGL. I didn't ask which order those happened, nor did I inquire any further about the details. I suspect, though, that the pilot did not notice that the ILS minimums were 320 ft AGL. I think nonstandard decision hts should be more prominently depicted.
