This is old news. FedEx has been utilizing this technology to operate approaches into Subic Bay, P.I. for several years now. The system works ok, it is not as smooth as other types of approaches as it sends the LOC signal and then the G/S signal. This makes for a bit of a "jerky" approach. Wouldn't be a problem if handflown, I suppose.
