Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

We had thoroughly briefed the GPS approach at RDG. Cleared for the visual for Runway 31 we backed it up with the LNAV and VNAV with autopilot disengaged. We were on profile and just before ADEKY we got an obstacle warning. We verified we were on the proper VNAV PATH. Made minor level off as we had the (Tower) obstacle in sight. We were warned of this from Operations. So, it’s a known problem let’s get the approach plate redesigned. Suggestion: Redesign the crossing altitudes on this approach.
