Because neither your OpSpecs nor your GOM define the regulation. The definition for the regulation is found in 14 CFR Part 1.

Not 100% positive but doesn't part 97 make approach plates regulatory?

Standard alternate minimums for non precision approaches are 800-2 (NDB, VOR, LOC, TACAN, LDA,VORTAC, VOR/DME, ASR or WAAS LNAV); for precision approaches 600-2 (ILS or PAR). Airports within this geographical area that require alternate minimums other than standard or alternate minimums with restrictions are listed below. NA - means alternate minimums are not authorized due to unmonitored facility or absence of weather reporting service. Civil pilots see FAR 91. IFR Alternate Airport Minimums: Ceiling and Visibility Minimums not applicable to USA/USN/USAF. Pilots must review the IFR Alternate Airport Minimums Notes for alternate airfield suitability.

"Precision or non-precision.

Op Spec C072 says it is a non precision for air carriers. It is a precision like non precision approach.

What about for 135/91?"

WTF? Only answering the original question, C52 is used in both 121 and 135 ops, it can not be applied to 91 except as a 121 or 135 operating under 91 for a repositioning, etc flight. It defines the LDA as a non-precision approach.

The OpSpec is compliance-mandatory for a given certificate holder, but does not define the regulation, nor is the OpSpec found as part of the Code of Federal Regulations...and does not define the regulation.

The OpSpec doesn't provide definition for Parts 121 or 135, either. Those parts of the CFR have their own definitions, found in Parts 1.1, 119.3, and 121.7.

What your GOM has to say is entirely irrelevant.
 
Bug is it a precision approach?

I don't suspect he is going to respond anymore which is disappointing. I personally suspect they are classified as non-precision. But whatever they are precision or non-precision the are considered non-precision for planning purposes, so it isn't exactly relevant to know the exact answer (though it would be nice).

This has already been answered, earlier in the thread, with specific changes to the regulation applicable to the question. Ergo, read the thread.

This is an old thread, but has been referenced today by another thread (http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?p=1851015#post1851015), and therefore will receive an additional reply.

There should have been no need to respond again, given that the topic was already covered...to which I say again, read the thread.

Paul, here's the reply from earlier:
The AIM does provide a definition that has been given. Until recently, any approach with a glideslope was precision. The LDA with a glideslope contrary to popular belief, was a precision approach. It is now considered "precision-like" due to an expansion in the definition.
