What does this have to do the regulator?
Ok , I get that.
What was frustrating is that when the first -AR approaches were introduced they were a game changer. Then they went backwards to generic charts.
Melbourne RWY 34 was a good example. From a minima of 200’ back to a GNSS approach simply because of ATC workload. Very frustrating.
