Meanwhile it's RNAV, Overlay, Visual or Raw unless the weather craps out and there isn't a performance restricting tailwind on 15.
Wish I knew who to write to and complain.
I think that a collection of local councils hold a minority shareholding in the facility so a Freedom of Information request (FOI) might be appropriate. Reasons for the request must be valid and not vexatious. I've followed this embarrassment since its inception and I'm not sure if its the 33 LOC (unlikely as the ILS on 33 predates the 15 installation ) or the GS or a combination of both or a more complex interaction between the installation and its environs.
