Does anyone know what / if any certification requirements are needed for a GLS vs an ILS? Perhaps an ILS is actually the more cost effective solution.
The report says that GBAS would be unable to provide a curved approach and will have the same approach path as the ILS. Since the ILS is available to all aircraft it is the preferred option. RNP aircraft still are diverting now with the current RNP minima.
As for the middle marker it will probably be a DME fix off the ILS DME, same as 16L in Sydney.
Anyway we are finally moving into the 20th century so hopefully this will ease the pain at OOL for everyone.
