Default Re: VDP. Why it isn't it depicted in all charts?

maybe thats why there isnt a VDP depicted on all approach plates... The TERPSters cant guarantee obstacle clearance in the descent from MDA unless youre visual to see and avoid. Just a guess.

Another weird thing ive noticed is that Jepp has removed the VDP from some approaches. The rest of the procedure is unchanged
