I was quite surprised to note that the NDB 'FOS 348' and TDME 109.85 become non-functional on 23/04/20. This can't be good news.....is it a cost cutting measure, or something worse?
Could also be related to the nausea inducing implementation of the new EU Regulation 2017/373. The paperwork involved is mind numbing. Take out navaids and it is a fraction of what is required for an AFIS Unit.

That apart how many pilots will tell you “I’ve got GPS, who needs navaids?”
