Now all we now need is a RNAV (GNSS) procedure for 20 to replace the non precision procedures. Might take even longer to come to fruition due to a need for an Airspace Change Proposal to provide the additional controlled airspace to contain the procedure inside?
The significance of this safety improvement appears to have been missed by the airport's media machine, nothing found on the airport's website
To the lay-man, what does this exactly mean?👍
